At least according to FH, in which a 45 str is required to lift a Heavy Trebuchet. Tsk tsk. That's heavier than me.:D

Now, now, let's be kind to Trebuchet. ;)
Believe it or not, I didn't make the trebuchet weight up for funsies. I actually found a couple of books that listed weights for the things. Ya never know what sort of information is lurking out there....

Some late-model trebuchets had counterweights of 11 tons, so a total weight of 12.5 tons is probably light. They weren't building those things out of titanium and graphite, you know. (That sounds like a good adventure: Evil king is attempting to build a "weapon of mass destruction" that can batter down any city's walls, and our heroes have to stop him.)
Man, when I read the thread title I thought "How in the world did Enforcer get a picture of me, and why would he feel the need to state the obvious?" :p

Well, considering my personal favorite self jab is that after highschool, I slowly aquired the power:
Duplication: 1 Duplicate, shares same personal space.
or
1 level density increase, always on, no useful charactersistics, visible...
*sigh*.
anyway, as I stated before, I didn't want to to poke funt at Treb and not give him a chance to rebut...
