 for the 5d12 Blastin' Syker who gets a few raises.
 
 On a side note, my marshall, who asked me to post this, keeps griping about 
 how the strength chart is too low...anyone know about this? >>


Each raise above a d12 adds +2 to the die type. When calculating the amount 
lifted, just add the total bonus to 12. A syker who got a result of d12+4 for 
instance, would have an effective Strength of 16, and could lift 320 pounds 
according to the Load Table.

As far as the Load Table being too low, the weights on the table were meant 
to be those that a hero could lift and move around with for an extended 
period of time. Maximum weights a hero can lift would be closer to Strength X 
50. While carrying such weights, the hero has a Pace of 2 and takes 1d4 Wind 
per round.
