Picked up a body last night... and I could not move.
Now, Realisticly... if a 100lb lady in the military in full gear, can do a shoulder drag on a man twice her weight, also in full gear (not real fast mind you), I think an elf, with a 12 strength should be able to do the same.
Sollution, can we lower the weight on bodies?
I understand wanting to curb people from carrying tons of ore about, but that's why extrademensional bags were made for. We want to carry more than our weight in stuff without burden, in a world of magic, we applied the art to accomplishing that, much as we do in reallife. We want to fly like the birds, we invent a plane. Magic is the Technology of the Fantasy world. The difference, Magic is not hindered by the laws of physics, so in a magic wold there is actually more room for abuse, Mules with Extradementional saddle bags.
Heh, makes me wonder how many of the "Witch Burners" fear their magic bags of holding.
"EVIL BAG! It holdeth a suit of armor, 2 longswords and 700 arrows... BURN IT! Burn... it, wait a moment... That bag holds a lot of stuff, at half the weight, This is AMAZING, so much that... um... it can't be witchcraft, it must be, um, holy... Yes, These are blessed bags of mass holding, Tell it on the Mountain!! The Gods have blessed us with a grand gift... only 1500 fangs from your local Red Vardo Traders."
