lifting capacity: B14
I understand how to calculate lifting capacity, but I don't understand what it refers to. Basic Lift is clearly defined (pounds over your head with one hand in one second) and is also used to calculate encumbrance levels. But what lifting capacity refers to in game terms is not clear to me. If you have BL figured, do you ever need to refer to lifting capacity?

Re: lifting capacity: B14
"Lifting capacity" is just a phrase to tell you what Basic Lift is about. All the calculations are based on Basic Lift, and you don't need to record lifting capacity.

Re: lifting capacity: B14
The paragraph is just trying to illustrate "proportional to the square of ST". "Lifting capacity" is not a game-mechanical stat.

Re: lifting capacity: B14
Thanks for your response. I figured it was some explanatory term and not a characteristic, but the given formula "the square of ST" made me wonder if it was meant to be calculated or not. I'll leave it alone and focus on BL.

Re: lifting capacity: B14
Get into Campaigns and there's more about Lifting and Moving things and it's all defined by BL.
