Re: Where do I find guidelines for relation between ST and weight?

The double cube root of weight in lbs rule is a nice easy simplification, but not necessarily accurate to the relative proportions of humans vs. bears or horses vs. elephants or rhinos. EDIT: Bill makes the very good point in the post below that if adjusting to use a 0.4 power as opposed to a 1/3 power progression, you'd have to either start with a different multiplier, or alternatively you could just give body weight for ST/HP 10 and take the body weight ratio for all other values before applying the power law. E.g., if 125 lbs is still ST/HP 10, a 10,000 lb elephant is 80x the mass/weight, so 1/3 power gives x4.3 or 43 ST/HP, and 0.4 power gives you x5.77 or 58 ST/HP, not 80.

Yeah, it's 1.45 if you want the same strength at 125 lb, about 1.4 if you want ST 10 at 150 lb.
