21. LIFT:

Knowledge of the correct procedures to physically lift objects without causing damage either to the character or to the object being lifted. A successful lifting is mostly STR based, with holding time using STA and STR. STR gives weight able to be lifted (in pounds). STA determines time able to hold item up.

Half-max to Max weights can be held for STA rating in half-minutes before STA rolls and STR rolls are made.

Lighter weights than Half-Max need only roll every STA x 2 in minutes.

• If both rolls critically succeed then time is restarted with no penalty to STA or STR.
• If both rolls succeed then time is restarted from 50% STA and STR is reduced by 25%.
• If STR only fails then current STR is reduced by 50% and time restarted. Item being lifted begins to slip, will fall unless success next time or put down.
• If STA only fails then current STA is reduced by 50% and time restarted. Item being lifted begins to slip, will fall unless success next time or put down.
• If both STR and STA fail then item must be put down or it will fall in current STA in seconds. Current STA and STR are reduced by 25% and lifter takes 1D4-2 Wounds.
• If both critically fail then immediate drop of item and lifter takes 1D4 wounds. Current STA and STR reduced by 50%.
