Dragging question


Rules Questions


What i am wondering about is. How much 2 people, or animal and a person can drag if one has a Str of 25. The others is 20. In the PFCRB it says a character can drag along the ground as much as five times his maximum load. We would be dragging on the ground.
Favorable conditions can double these numbers, and bad circumstances can reduce them by half.

Heavy load for 20 STR: 267-400lbs

Heavy load for 25 STR: 534-800lbs

I don't think there are rules for this.

If you have a travois or a harness of some sort i would simply add the values together, up to about 8 critters. (which is as large as a horse hitch as i've heard of)

edit: You're pretty much there already. Also, don't forget modifiers to creature loads from size and body form. A 20 STR Medium-sized biped can drag 2000 pounds and a 25 STR Medium-sized biped can drag 4000 pounds.

As BigNorseWolf mentioned, depending what sort of creatures they are and what they're dragging, they might need some sort of equipment for both to apply their full strength effectively, otherwise they could have an unfavourable circumstance. An actual vehicle (purchased, or made with a Craft check) should at least count as a favourable circumstance, maybe even allow more than double weight capacity if it's wheeled and travelling on a firm flat surface.
