We thinned them all out and eventually one was carrying her until i asked the DM what his strength score was. Her weight ended up being more than his max load so he could only drag her from now on. After some DM magic another round of kobolds appeared to help him carry the girl.

How do you calculate for multiple characters carrying the same thing in terms of distribution, transportation, speed etc?

03-20-06, 01:21 PM If they even so much as some rope, the weight should be evenly distributed between at least two kobolds.

If they had a 10ft pole to tie her to along with the rope, I would let the weight be distributed among 6 medium sized creatures or 8 smalls.
