[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 9895233, member: 23484"] Looking at the rules for Carrying Capacity on PHB p. 362-63, I read them differently than you. With STR 10 as a M creature, you can carry 15 x Strength, or 150 pounds. You've said the flyer is carrying 10 pounds already, so 140 is available: 1. Rogue. Yes, you can carry the 140 pound rogue. 2. Cleric. No, you cannot carry the 200 pound rogue. You can, however, push, pull, or lift them, but I would say that doesn't matter. You're not doing any of those things when you move them while flying. I'd say they're too big for you. 3. Fighter, heavier still, you couldn't even budge them. There is a reason to invest in STR, and not make it a dump stat, this is one of them. Exception: Be an Goliath! In that case, your capacity would be doubled (30 x Strength, or 300 pounds). Then you could carry the Rogue or the Cleric, and, as long as you both dumped some of those iron rations you've been carrying around since first level that came with your character but have somehow never crossed off, you could carry the fighter too.
