[QUOTE="kingius, post: 5069253, member: 85123"] I was reviewing the character sheets in my pen and paper roleplaying game that my group use this morning when I realised that each hero was carrying an arsenal of weapons. None of us like tracking weights for items, its just too fiddly to mess about like this, so I was thinking of making an alternate house ruled system. My idea is to make an 'inventory sheet' with a outline of a man and a number of boxes pointing to locations. Items would be split into general grid sizes (1x1 for a dagger, 1x2 for a sword, 1x3 for a two handed sword, 2x2 for a shield) and the boxes would reflect what could be put where. For example, a belt would have a number of slots that might be 2x4 (two shields, or 8 daggers, could be slung into a belt in this example). So far so good, but I run into the issue of baldrics and backpacks. It's possible to sling two very large weapons on your back using baldrics and making an X shape with the blades... but can you wear a backpack at the same time as this, I wonder? [/QUOTE]
