This is a fascinating problem, one that, I'm sure, all of us GMs have run into. When it happened in my games, I probably judged the success of a given feat based on a roll against strength with some multiple. I assume that's what the game designers would suggest.
Like the responses so far indicate, to get more exact, GMs go immediately to table 86.9, encumbrance, and the rock rules. That's what I did, too, when I read your question. I'm assuming you and your wife, both being seasoned GMs, did the same,
and were unsatisfied. I can see why, because toting weight around for a long period of time isn't the same as heaving something, although the table is useful in that it does sketch out what having those super-human strengths might mean.
I'm wondering if Newton's F=ma might be of help, using the encumbrance table as a guide to scale it up. It is easier for us to imagine how far humans can throw something. Strong humans throw stones in Scotland and other places, and distances and weights are
recorded. I can see this worked out into a table, so the calculations only have to be done once.

If that is all too much, extrapolating from an average human strength, say 9-12, guessing at the mass
lifted vs. the ability to throw it a particular distance, and scaling it up using the factor in the encumbrance table might suffice. From what I can see, the increases are not very significant for higher strengths, since the maximums are increased arithmetically. I think the designers sort of guessed when making that table. You can guess, too, based on numbers you and your wife agree upon.
If you make a table, please share. Sounds like a fun project.

Subject: [DQ-RULES] Does anyone have lift and throw rules based on Strength?
My wife and I are both GMing DQ games. We have a couple of strong characters, including one giant with a strength in the 30's. We are trying to figure out how much these characters can pick and how far they could through a weight. For instance, could the giant pick up an enemy orc in mail and through him...and how far.
Have anyone seen or developed a set of lifting or throwing rules for DQ, based on a character's ST?
Thanks, Kyle

In the past I've used a technique similar to what Howard described. Carl, however, captured my frustration with the randomness of this approach.
I'll consider the tables Carl pointed us to...and if I come up with any new approaches I'll be sure to share them here.

Oh! I love that idea of truesilver being better if mined under a full moon. Must have missed that if it's in the book, and otherwise it's just a great idea with story potential! Love it.

interesting table, although i am not sure what 'd' stands for. D10? sp? A D10 would be kinda cool as the purity of these vary a lot in the real world.
having written that, is there any thought to adding a quasi magical element to it, such as timing. By this i mean that truesilver mined on the full moon is better than stuff torn from the living earth on any other form of moon. Or may be Diamonds on a blue moon.
this means that a PC cannot find the mother lode and just milk it till it runs out, which will wreck the economy at the same time. Bakers are the only people to make money out of gold rushes - nasty little hobbitses.
I have been looking at this for very rare herbs, they arent just hard to find, they arent available to be found most of the time: - cannot be cultivated to have the true properties of the herb - will yield the good stuff D100 years after the previous crop - requires other plants to be in flower or insects present at the time of flowering (D100 years and a wide variety of biota) - one plant only yields the good stuff once.

The World's Tallest Dwarf is correct. Small "d" is the historical designation of pennies.
I hadn't considered timing, nor had I thought of "star" metal. When I put everything together I'll put in a mention for the them.

D10 means the 10-sided die. The D is gaming shorthand for Die. Elsewhere you might see something along the lines of 2D10+3 which means "roll 2 10-sided dice, total the amount and add 3 to that total:

There is an enlarged beastiary in the files. Not D&D, or only a few, but a lot of normal and mythical ones. I've dug up every DQ monster I could find added in adventures not only produced by DQ, but other DQ sites. There is a fairly easy way to translate, just compare D&D monsters with DQ ones.

I tried to send this yesterday and, even though I get the emailed digest daily, Yahoo Groups was saying that I'm not a member of this group, so forgive me if you all see this twice!
I seem to recall that someone had a guide or a set of formulas for converting old Dungeons and Dragons monsters to DragonQuest stats, but I can't seem to find them. I was going through a bunch of my old AD&D material, before I sell it all since I haven't played in many years, and thought it might be fun to convert some of the monsters there to an expanded DragonQuest bestiary. Barring that, has anyone ever seen DragonQuest creatures like either the aspis from the Slave Lords series of AD&D modules, or the yuan-ti, from one of the later AD&D monster manuals or compilations?
Either way, thanks!
Jim
