User blog:GreyFang82/Lifting Strength for Level 1 D&D 5e Characters

So thanks taking a closer look at specific player races, I have found there is one that ups the level 1 player strengths by a considerable margin. So right off the bat, all level 1 characters should be comparable to each other in combat as they can hurt each other, wrestle each other, and dodge each other's attacks. With that in mind what one race can do the other races should be comparable to as long as their levels are similar.

According to the rules of 5th edition of D&D 5e you can push, drag, and lift objects that weight 30 times more than your strength score

According to the rules of the Goliath Player race, when you Push, Drag, and Lift things you are treated as 1 size category higher than what you are, in this case medium. This would mean their peak weight of what they can lift is equal to 60 times their strength score. A player who chooses this race usually goes into barbarian or fighter, both of which favor strength heavily.

Assuming an optimal build a Goliath's strength score should be 17 right off the bat. This would make their peak lifting strength at level 1: 17 x 60 = 1020 lb or 462.664217 kilograms. Which is Class 1 lifting strength.

Conclusion
Since all other level 1 characters are comparable to each other and should be able to grapple with each other, all Level 1 characters from the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons should have Class 1 lifting strength.
