For medium creatures, you can handle weight up to 30X your Strength score (PHB p. 176). If you're Large, double that. So with a Strength of 20, a Goliath can move 1200lbs. At lv6, Barbarians can pick Aspect of the Bear. That's double your lift maximum, plus advantage on pull, push, lift, and breaking objects. So... I believe they can now lift 2400lbs, is that correct? So that begs the question, what shenanigans can be wrought with this?

#4 Sorsohka Aug 06, 2015 9:50:02	you can lift 2400lbs I call that a small higly mobile catapult. So pick up a rock and ask your DM what are the effect of a catapult. When your DM tell you you found 2 status of black Oyx dragon worth 4000gp each, but since they weight 500pound each you cannot transport them, remind him that you can carry that weight with a single hand (but he might still argu that the boat and the marsh ground arround the dungeon won't support you.   ripping someone arm is not the same as lifting. You lift with all your body, you rip someone arm mainly with your arms.
#5 jaappleton Aug 06, 2015 10:27:31	Could you knock stuff over? Such as support beams? Turn yourself into a battering ram? In LMoP, isn't there a particular tower with some particular creature in it...? Could you maybe cause the tower to collapse into itself?
