Hey all!
So in one of my currently running games of pathfinder, we're playing around with mythic and epic rules the kind I never knew existed. In said game, I have a monk with a STR of 48, which (in this game at least) gives a +19 stat bonus and a 'light' load of 6,400 pounds. So as I calculate my push/drag loads and the like, I think to myself....I will likely never see a game that allows such stats ever again, self. I need to make the most of this. What crazy antics can I pull off being able shove nearly 50 ton of material around?
Some ideas are for laughs. Like using my STR to be a human cowtapult, throwing bovines around like I just came off from a Monty Python skit. Drag them around in cart, throw a few in a portable hole, whatever. REALLY confuses the new guy when you announce you are throwing a cow at someone.
Also for kicks? The old arm wrestling game. Put a stack of coins out, offer them to anyone who can beat you a contest. Of course, there is a small entry fee... the profit's nice enough, I suppose, but doing this in the favorite bar of the local guards and humiliating them all is fun in itself. Forcing those same guards to run scared the next day when they 'try' to arrest you? Priceless.
Some are more practical. Messing around with an enemy's 'strong' fortifications are a hoot. Knock over a crucial support beam or two, knock down some walls, and then teleport out of the area to watch the show.
Or the fun game 'bowling with boulders.' I fashioned out a nearly smooth boulder with the help of the wizard, and used it for all sorts of fun before it broke. Roll it through walls, barricades, enemy formations, you name it. One point tied it to a massive chain for extra insanity.
Still, this is only a start. There are bound to be other ideas of how to use such ridiculous strength to it's full potential. If you have any, be so kind to let me know, ok? :)
