The ability to lift livestock

Postby serVar161 » Thu Apr 16, 2026 7:46 pm

Idea:
Give the ability to lift livestock.

Possible implementation:
1 Strength = 1 kg of weight the player can lift.
Take the average animal weights, and if the player's Strength is equal to or greater than this value, they can lift livestock.

Reason:
The character can lift dead animals, but not live ones. You're standing there banging against a sheep—you can't step over it, or lift it, or set it aside. Shu is certainly good, but why not just give the ability to lift them? This would also encourage strength training.
