[QUOTE="Chocolategravy, post: 6513756, member: 6778085"] The average soldier would have a 10 STR. 10 STR can lift 300 pounds which is probably more than many soldiers can. With the x5/x10 rule a 100 load would slow them down to the point they could barely walk (-20 movement). They couldn't even then pick something up that weighs over 50 pounds as 150 pounds is the maximum and they can barely stagger at that point with 151 to 300 pounds being equally debilitating. So the rule really isn't working for soldiers, not at all. Now try with a pro wrestler or MMA fighter, most of these guys would have a 16 STR and many are up around 300 pounds themselves. Even some of the strongest of them with an 18 STR would barely be able to move if they pick up another wrestler as 180 pounds is the point where they can barely stagger around with them when in reality 180 pounds is pretty much trivial for them to handle. So again, the rule really isn't working for strong guys either. It's even worse if you consider worn weight is far less debilitating then carried. [/QUOTE]
