I've been apart of a friends campaign for awhile and I'm playing a Half-Orc Beast Barbarian. The question on how much my Pc could carry and or lift/throw came up when we had 2 party members unconscious and I asked if I could carry them both out (Having a 18 Str) one of them had chainmail and the other leather, however my character would not be able to lift them both. SO, I got curious and looked around to see if there was any magical Items that could increase how much a character could physically lift. Essentially giving them the 'Powerful Build' racial feature, and to my surprise there is none.
So my question is this then, If you could give the 'Powerful Build' feature a price, what would it be? Would the magical item be considered Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare or even Legendary? I think it would need to be an attunement item but i'm not sure. As to what it would be I think Bracers, Boots or a ring would be a good fit. Again its an item that could be worn by anyone But I would like to make sure it stays available to Barbarian's and they don't lose their unarmored defense.
If you're interested in a magic item with the powerful build ability (working no matter your char size normally) I made one, link here. And it suits your need, as a brooch, it probably won't be a problem for a barbarian to wear and use.
As to answer your question, for items with this property, their price, and rarity, it highly depends on the item, is this the only feature of that item? what type of setting are you playing in, a high magic one where you can actually purchase those kinds of items? all those parameters influence the price and rarity of the item and give a precise answer.
