I still don't see why they can't haul the chart straight out of 3.5:

At 10 str (average) a character carries 33lbs unencumbered, up to 100lbs encumbered. Can lift 200, push 500.

At 18 str (normal max) a character carries 100lbs unencumbered, up to 300 encumbered. Can lift 600, push 1500.

Seems much more reasonable to me.

Eh, it's not like I'd specifically object to such a thing, but IMO, No Chart > Chart.

If it's functional for the purposes of the game, that's enough for me. It's not like most groups are going to be doing much beyond eyeballing it, anyway.
