Hi there, I just wanted to make sure that I got this one tiny detail. This is from the Formian Worker entry from the awesome Alien Archive:
"Peerless Bearer (Ex): Formian workers are bred for heavy labor. A formian worker can carry 5 additional bulk beyond the normal limits for its Strength before becoming encumbered or overburdened."
With the phrasing on that, I just wanted to ask if folks thought it was meant to be read as:
1) Treat their STR as 5 higher, then determine the encumbered limit as normal.
Or:
2) Take their normal encumbered and overburdened rates, and add +5 to each limit.
From my understanding the overburdened number will always be the same, but the encumbered limit raises substantially with that method.
I've been assuming that they mean approach #1, especially with Pathfinder formians. But since the wording is slightly different between the two systems, I just wanted to ask you fine, enlightened folks! Whacha think?
