Monster carrying capacity
A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:
"Is it always rounded up?"
A monster's carrying capacity is, in weight units:[1]
cwt/2.9,
where cwt is the monster's weight. For strong monsters, multiply this with 2. A strong monster with a weight less than or equal to 1450 has 1000 units' worth of carrying capacity.
A corpseless monster's capacity depends on its physical size, as so:
msize/500,
which means that tiny corpseless monsters, such as grid bugs, cannot carry anything. Strong corpseless monsters, such as ki-rin, are not secured 1000 units, but their capacity is still multiplied by 2.
A few monsters' carrying capacity:
| Monster | kitten/little dog | housecat/dog | hobbit | large cat/large dog | pony | dwarf | horse | warhorse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 52 | 69 | 173 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1034 | 1241 |
