| I couldn't help but calculate the masses of various boulder sizes, with reference to damming the tunnel in Cantona. I used 2.75 g/cm3 for density. This confirms that, say, 5 to 8 characters, working together, can lift a 3-foot diameter boulder. Diameter of granite sphere (boulder), feet | Mass, lb. | Mass at half diameter, lb. (1/8 orig. mass) | 6 | 8,807.0 | 1,100.9 | 5 | 5,096.7 | 637.1 | 4 | 2,609.5 | 326.2 | 3 | 1,100.9 | 137.6 | 2 | 326.2 | 40.8 | 1 | 40.8 | 5.1 |

| Perhaps we need one more file on this site to archive game mechanic stuff like this chart, the one I found for falling items as weapons etc. It's a little cumbersome to find these articles again within all the chaff. | |
