Does anyone know this feat?

[Delemental]

I'm looking for a feat that I saw referenced once, a while back. I think it was published in Dragon Magazine, but I'm not positive. The feat allowed a character to increase their carrying capacity - it did something like double your Strength score for the purposes of computing encumbrance only.

Does anyone know the feat in question, and if so, provide a reference (book title, issue of Dragon, etc).

Thanks!

Aparently there is a feat in the Planar Handbook called "Natural Heavyweight" that doubles your carrying capacity, but I don't have the book to verify this.

RigaMortus2 has it right. Natural Heavyweight, from the Planar Handbook, doubles your carrying capacity. On planes with normal gravity, you gain bonuses to climb and jump and penalties to balance, ride, swim, and tumble checks. The bonuses and penalties are doubled on planes with light gravity.

Huh. Well, that very well could be the one, but I could have sworn the one I remember just dealt with carrying capacity and didn't do anything to skills. It may not have even been double carrying capacity; it may have been something more like "treat Strength as X amount higher for figuring encumbrance".

Still, this feat does what I'm looking for, so that works.

EDIT: Okay, I might have found a reference to what I was thinking of. I think it may have been in Dragon 327, the "Increased Carrying Capacity" feat. Not sure if that's 100% accurate, but it's the closest match I've found.

Okay, I finally got my Google-fu working well enough to find what I was thinking of. It's in Dragon 292, the feat "Improved Encumbrance". Requires CON 13+, and lets you compute your carrying capacity as though your Strength was 4 points higher.

I am going to need to take a look at that Natural Heavyweight feat, though, to see how it compares.
