Re: OOC- all out of game posts here.
The tun (Old English: tunne, Latin: tunellus, Middle Latin: tunna) is an English unit of liquid volume (not weight), used for measuring wine, oil or honey.
PHB has a wine tun at 250 Gallons. A gallon of water weighs Approx 8.3 lbs, rounding down to 8 lbs, because alcohol is slightly lighter than water. This gives the tun a weight of 8 x 250, or 2000 lbs. Add another 240 lbs for the cask itself, and that gives us 2240 lbs, a legit US ton in weight.
So, the question is, can Krel the Barbarian lift 1 ton? At exactly 8 times his max press weight, this would truly be a grand feat of strength. I feel that this calls for some hot BB/LG action! 20% for 18/22 str!
