Lifting / Breaking
The following chart provides the minimum Strength needed to deadlift various weights or break objects without a die roll. Characters of lower Strength may roll to affect heavier weights than their Strength ratings allow for. The roll is made not with Strength, but with Willpower, and is difficulty 9. Each success advances the character by one level on the chart.
Characters can work together to lift an object. This
is a “teamwork roll” for which the individual players
roll separately and combine any resulting successes.
Lifting is all or nothing — if you fail the roll, nothing happens. At the Storyteller’s discretion, your character’s effective Strength may be raised if all she wants to do is drag something a short distance instead of pick it up. On a botch, your character may pull a muscle or drop the object on her own foot.
