Huh. So I've been looking at the Lifting and Carrying rules in Shadowrun (SR4 130), and have run into something that puzzled me somewhat. If 6 Body and 6 Strength are the unaugmented human maximum... then the most any human can ever hope to lift over their heads is 90kg (rolling all hits on your STR + BOD test without the 6s-are-rolled-again optional rule). Which is less than half the Olympic weightlifting record. Heck, it's less than the lightweight women's record (source here).
It... just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. |
