What is the greatest carrying capacity we can manage?

[Ravingdork]

Even if it's only temporary.

[gesalt]

Isn't it just max str, hefty hauler and a wand of ant haul? Add backpacks, bags of holding, etc to inflate further.

10 + 7 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 26

Plus whatever bags to ignore x bulk.

Edit: forgot lifting belt. Added a +1. Can temporarily treat an 8 bulk item as 0 so add that to your bags that ignore bulk.

[Ravingdork]

Can you have more than one bulk ignoring container, such as a backpack?

(Spacious pouches notwithstanding.)

As far as I can tell, yes, so long as you don't put one inside the other.

extradimensional (trait) This effect or item creates an extradimensional space. An extradimensional effect placed inside another extradimensional space ceases to function until it is removed.

My question is what happens when an extradimensional effect ceases to function? Are you simply unable to access the items inside OR do the items spill out OR what?

ALSO, in the vein of temporary, you can cast Telekinetic Haul (sustained up to 1 minute) to lift and move 1 unattended object of up to 80 Bulk with no dimension longer than 20 feet.

Are we talking about real Bulk capacity or are you factoring in things like Shrink Item as well? If so, your upper bound is more or less only limited to how many times you can cast the spell since it makes non-magical things of 20 cubic feet with 80 or less bulk shrink to become of negligible bulk.

Doing that could allow someone to unpack potentially thousands of Bulk on their person that could be unloaded via dismissal to fill entire caverns with whatever you managed to shrink and pocket.

Let's limit the scope to things that affect you directly, rather than your items, with the exception of mundane containers that allow YOU to ignore some bulk.

Bulk being abstract addition of both size and weight makes some of the mentioned stuff wonky.

Take example a Statue. It has X bulk, but you can't really say that you put it in your backpack to reduce that. It simply doesn't fit.

Heck, even bag of holding has the language that it needs to fit through the opening.

So a character with a bag of holding probably can't fit a huge statue on a bag of holding while someone with a lifting belt might be able to lift it, despite the 1st character having overall more bulk available.

[siegfriedliner]

So 7 + 5 + 1 (lifting belt) +2 hefty hauler + 3 anthaul =18

Become huge 18*4 =72

You also get to treat 2 bulk items as light so

72*20= 1440 bulk

So enlarge is the best weight lifting spell by a country mile.
