You're totally right about th...@ Spawn of Endra<br />You're totally right about the military press - this time it was a simple mistake as I meant to say military press not bench press, as per DMG, unlike the hole in my rule reading you pointed out last time.<br /><br />Thanks to you and Carter Soles for your loyal commenting to my ramblings.The Jovial Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160018433070823408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887410874340004979.post-15913524641449676102011-01-05T10:39:03.597+00:002011-01-05T10:39:03.597+00:00Ahoy Mr. Priest,

But in a further screw-twisting I'll clarify that the Strength entry in PHB p.9 specifically refers to lifting a "weight above his or her head in a military press", rather than a bench press. The dreaded 'military press' is a seated vertical press, I believe, whereas the standing press is a bipedal affair.<br /><br />In general the standing or military press always uses a lower weight than a bench press. How STR would relate to encumbrance using these weight values is another intriguing question.<br /><br />More later. Yours is a rich post.Spawn of Endrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10431848914619887998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887410874340004979.post-17235911211466903382011-01-05T01:04:53.837+00:002011-01-05T01:04:53.837+00:00While a bit math-heavy for me in parts, I really a...While a bit math-heavy for me in parts, I really appreciate this analysis, and very much look forward to your future posts on other attributes!Carter Soleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286436801953647693noreply@blogger.com
