[QUOTE="Caliburn101, post: 7584501, member: 6802178"] I will. The relevant rules clearly state how MUCH you can carry, not tacking the issue of IF you can carry things. No 'parsing' is required. YOU have added this meaning to it - conflating this rule with your personal take on what you choose to expand it to include. You interpretation is what you feel is implicit in the rule - my literal summation of it deals strictly with what is explicit in the rule. Having a Strength score in no way guarantees you the ability to carry anything, [I]but if you can, this is how much[/I] - that is what the rules shows. Nowhere does it say, 'If you have a Strength score, you can carry things'. I understand your confusion on this, but both grammatically and logically you have not pointed out any rule guaranteeing the ability to carry things with a Strength score. I hope that clears up what I am saying and where I contend the flaw in your argument lies. [/QUOTE]
