FRED and Maximum Lift

[Crimson-Hawk]

I've been constructing an Excel spreadsheet to help me format characters according to the HGWG. As I've been setting up the auto-calc features, I've noticed something.

 

The Max Lift values in the Strength Chart for the most part (but not exactly) follow the 25 kg x 2^(STR/5) formula. Especially when you get up into the god-like levels of Strength, liberties have been taken in the rounding of figures.

 

When constructing a character, Steve, how have you been handling the Max Lift of characters with, say, a STR of 48, or 63, or whatever?

[Steve Long]

I use the "half" values as listed on the STR Table. For example, STR 10 can lift 100 kg, STR 15 can lift 200 kg; therefore the point halfway between them, STR 13, can lift an amount halfway between them, or 150 kg.

 

Using that logic, STR 48 could lift 18.75 tons, if I'm doing the math correctly in my head.
