How Lifting Strength work?

[Jamesthetaker]

I have seen someone told that if a character can withstood they own weight then they can lift the same weight as well.

For example, a guy weight 70kg can lift another person with 70kg. Is this true?

Yes a physically fit human should be able to lift their own weight as it’s mostly muscle mass.
But it’s not always the case for larger body types

I do remember seeing some giant character have LS by virtue of sheer size alone.

 

[Shey]

Well iirc LS isn’t just physically lifting an object with your hands either
I believe it’s based off how much weight one can withstand and give
So there isn’t just one criteria for it

Hmm, i will wait for other members to reply as well.

Thank anyway.

They'd have to be able to lift objects of around the same ballpark of else they'd be unable to move, lift their arms etc.

Thank you.

Honestly the large size calculations page says "LS is the weight they lift besides their body mass" but i think that just confuses people because is clearly wrong, you have to be able to lift your own weight.

If you are shown moving freely, it should be fine to assume you can lift something as heavy as you

but if u can jump really high, ur ls would be much higher than ur sheer size but u would need to calc it

 

[Jamesthetaker]

Thank guys.

Not necessarily, a 200 kg guy wouldn't always be able to lift something as heavy as himself.

He should if he can easily move around his body, jumping around, doing push ups, getting up fast, etc
