Lifting

Lifting
Use: Can be
used as a macro skill for carrying heavy loads over a long period of time.
Sample specializations: Weight
lifting, load bearing. The lifting
skill is used to increase the amount of
weight a character can lift beyond their lifting limit value. This is
accomplished with a power push as
described in Chapter Four. A character who wants to hold up or carry a load
greater than their lifting limit value has to make a power push every round.
Characters do not have to make lifting
skill checks to lift an amount equal to
or less than their lifting limit value as given in Chapter One. For macro uses
of the skill, characters cannot carry an amount greater than their lifting limit
value. Lesser amounts can be carried but the heavier the load, the more strain
it can have on the character. The difficulty for macro uses of lifting is the
weight value of the load plus three. If the skill check fails, the character
carries the load to his destination but collapses from exhaustion upon arrival.
If the skill check succeeds, the result is treated as a power push to determine
any detrimental effects on the character.
