yeah, they need to use multiplication instead of addition for something like that. 
i'm glad that there's another a.r.b. in the world who thinks of stuff like this too.

According to some random notes I had lying around, a cubic foot of water contains 7.48 gallons of water and weighs 62.425 pounds.
So, according to the book and the figure, a 150 pound hero could turn into something like 16 cubic feet, or 120 gallons, of water/liquid.
Sounds like a somewhat solid figure.

Boldly going forward, 'cause I can't find reverse.

since a human is on average 4.096 Cubic Meters.
By your tag I see you're a Yank...and you understand the metric system!
One of my players in my AD&D game can't (or refuses) to wrap his head around something so simple!
I told him that something was about half a metre tall (a pile of nails he was creating by picking them up in his mouth and then tossing them onto the bank of the river), and he held his hands about 10cm apart and asked "about that tall?" He tried about three more measurements and I (very annoyed, some of his quirks are really irritating) told him that he in real ife is about 1.5 metres tall... HE STILL DIDN"T GET IT!!!
>sigh< Hopefully he'll learn before he turns all my hair grey!
Oh, and this from someone who, despite having a bad grade in math HS 30 years ago, says 3rd ed D&D "is easy"!

APS:Metal,Stone, etc, on the other hand.... That's where the big weight multipliers should occur. Anything that sinks.... APS:Wood- Depends on the kind of wood: You should get to choose between more weight/SDC and more speed/combat bonuses depending on what you're made of.
They never say it, but do the math for the Growth power- That lowers your density by factors of 20-30, IIRC.... GiantStyrofoamMan!
I can't remember what website, but I believe on one of the bigger ones there is an alternate APS: Metal that allows for different abilities depending on the metal you are made of.
