[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9054723, member: 6801228"] Yeah, I came up with the same numbers, and since ogres have a speed of 40ft, not 5ft, I knew something had to change. Yeah, I know. But I was getting frustrated. The smallest size of "tiny" covers everything under 2 ft. So, if you take something like your standard house cat and say it can easily carry 3 lbs and drags anything 6 lbs or over... that feels about right. Bit high, but not bad... Having a gecko able to drag 4 lbs? It was just too much. So I wanted another category for things under a foot, the really tiny creatures. I haven't even added it to my chart yet, but it just helped define that end of it for me. Yep, those numbers look like my own chart. I also agree it isn't easy to do on the fly, but I counter that with... not needing to do it on the fly. Monster lifts rarely actually matter (that's why so few people complain about how weak huge and gargantuan monsters are) and for PC lifts I can just calculate it ahead of time and write it down. It will [I]VERY[/I] rarely change for most PCs. Yeah, sorry. I find it weird that they made "lift" one of the three at the far end, because I think about this whole section as "how much can I pick up". I need to be better about that. Ooooh. As long as it is close I can use this for just faster estimates. I do agree, it ends up depending on which people prefer, but as long as the margin of error is small, I don't mind which is which.
