So to be clear the person with the lowest STR deducts his STR from the objects SIZ. This new difference (110) is the new SIZ of the object. The maximum the lifter, Cecil in above example, can lift is 100+his STR (45). The SIZ of the object is now 110. Which is over 90, therefore the requirement of Extreme success roll. It is within the range of the lifters total lift of 145 (100+45) so it is within the range of a roll. The wording in the paragraph was very confusing for me. Thanks again for the help!

Ahhh! Thank you very much!

I’m sorry but I still don’t understand. The paragraph uses the language “....leaving the rafter SIZ at 110 (150-40). This is over 90, but less than 100 points above Martin’s STR” I don’t see how it is over 90 but less than 100.

I’m still not clear on it based on the wording in that second paragraph. What makes this an Extreme success attempt?

Hi, I’m new to CoC so I have a basic question regarding the Physical Human Limits example on page 88 of the Keepers Guide. To be specific it is the second paragraph of this section that eludes me..... ”Luckily Martin (STR 45) is there to help. Cecil’s STR is lowest, so it is subtracted from the rafter’s SIZ, leaving the rafter’s SIZ at 110 (150-40). This is over 90, but less than 100 points above Martin’s STR, so he can attempt a skill roll to move the rafter, requiring an Extreme success. Martin fails the roll.” Why is an Extreme success req’d? Would it not be 110-45=65 thereby requiring a Hard success?
