Strength and Lifting

Characters with Strength 0 can lift 100 kg (220 lbs) off the ground, and 50 kg (110 lbs) above their head. The amount that can be lifted doubles or halves for every difference of 2 points. In addition, large creatures receive a bonus of 4 for determining how much they can lift, and small creatures receive a penalty of 4.

Large creatures and items weigh 8 times (3 doublings) as much as medium creatures and items, and small creatures and items weigh one-eighth (3 halvings) as much as medium creatures and items.

Strength prerequisites are increased by 2 for large creatures and reduced by 2 for small creatures.

Falling Damage

Falling causes damage on hitting the ground or another surface. Falling is a physical attack opposed by Acrobatics: the further creatures fall before hitting the ground, the more attacks they have to survive.
