So I tried looking it up in my PH and DMG, but after two hours I came here and started reading the flames and closed threads and...wait! That's not important! How do you determine carrying capacity for characters in 1st edition AD&D? There's the Weight Allowance column on the Strength chart, and there's the 35/70/105 thing on pp.101-102, and somewhere there's mention of Strength x 10 lbs, and then the fire alarm went off, and the firemen came by, and the police wanted to question me...wait! That's not important either! Encumbrance? How?

#3 algolei_dup May 14, 2004 4:18:36	Ah. So then if I made a chart, it would look something like this: Str.........Normal....Heavy....Very Heavy....Encumbered....Max Lift .3..............0..........35...............70.............70+.............30 .4.............10.........45...............80.............80+.............40 .5.............10.........45...............80.............80+.............50 .6.............20.........55...............90.............90+.............60 .7.............20.........55...............90.............90+.............70 .8.............35.........70..............105...........105+.............80 .9.............35.........70..............105...........105+.............90 10.............35.........70..............105...........105+...........100 11.............35.........70..............105...........105+...........110 12.............45.........80..............115...........115+...........120 13.............45.........80..............115...........115+...........130 14.............55.........90..............125...........125+...........140 15.............55.........90..............125...........125+...........150 16.............70........105.............140...........140+...........160 17.............85........120.............155...........155+...........170 18............110........145.............180...........180+...........180 18/01-50...135........170.............205...........205+...........180? 18/51-75...160........195.............230...........230+...........180? 18/76-90...185........220.............255...........255+...........180? 18/91-99...235........270.............305...........305+...........180? 18/00........335........370.............405...........405+...........180? Is that right?
