Rope (TL9-12)
These are synthetic lines and ropes made of polymer fibers or artificial spider silk (TL9), carbon nanotubes or biphase composites (TL10), or even more exotic materials.
1/8" (3 mm) diameter (TL9): Supports 400 lbs. 10 yards of line: $2, 0.1 lb.
3/16" (5 mm) diameter (TL9): Supports 1,000 pounds. 10 yards of rope: $5, 0.25 lbs.
3/8" (1 cm) diameter (TL9): Supports 4,000 pounds. 10 yards of rope: $20, 1 lb.
3/4" (2 cm) diameter (TL9): Supports 16,000 pounds. 10 yards of rope: $80, 4 lbs.
This is the safe working load; the theoretical breaking strain is five times as much. If exceeding the safe load, roll vs. the rope's HT 12 at -1 per multiple of working load whenever it is stressed to see if it snaps. Strength doubles each TL after introduction.
