[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 252249, member: 326"] Hello mate! :) If you say so. The reason I didn't answer was because the question was nonsensical! Your 'carrying capacity' rules include the characters own bodyweight, mine do not (as with the PHB). My rules solve the PHB flaws since damage is consistent with strength. A character who weighed 210lbs and had 18 STR could actually lift 360lbs. 60 light/120 mid/180 heavy loads. Many people cannot lift their own body weight above their heads though. Aren't we ending up with relatively similar results!? It just seems as though you are taking an unnecessary long time to get there. Also you are corrupting the Strength Ability score. Will you be doing that for all ability scores? The system I favour is a lot cleaner. If a giant has six times the strength of a normal human then it has six times the strength score. It was necessary though. But thats just simple physics. I'm not questioning your ability to determine creature mass.
