pulling weight

Unread post by cl7277 »

I don't know if this topic was ever brought up or not, but is there any rule in any book about what a character can pull or drag? There are rules about lifting and carrying weights but I can't find any rules about pulling. Thanks for the help.

Pull would be the equivalent of carrying, although you may have to account for friction.

Its easy to just assume that you can drag your max lift. That would be a house rule though. I dont think there is an official ruling. Just try to judge it on a case by case basis. ;)

I was thinking some thing like inbetween your max carry weight and your max lift. So if your max carry is 90 and your max lift is 180, then your max pull would be 135lbs. And you could only pull that for your number of minutes in PE. So if your PE is 10 then 10 minutes only. Also only at 1/4 spd. So if your spd is 4 then while pulling then your speed is only 1
