I like the concept a lot; I think we need to work on the exact mechainic
to get it right! I don't much care for the current mechanic for checking
for fatigue; I would like a finer granularity than STR ENC; I would also
like to raise the odds for making the roll for average folk, and lower it
for the "Arnold the Issurian" types. The resistance table wil do this,
I just think CON should enter the picture somewhere, and the granularity
is too fine; someone of any STR can carry 10 kg less than their 50% point
with a 95% chance of making the roll; at STR and SIZ 16, that's 22 kg.

As a libertarian grognard (whatever that is) I take offense at that!
Blltttt! Ya Mama wears army boots!

I believe it's omission was an oversight; I would like to, if work ever
permits, to go through the RQ3 and RQAG books side by side and note
everything that was excluded. Some of the stuff is intentional, I know,
but it should *all* be deliberate, not accidental.
