[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5069633, member: 8835"] handling inventory and encubrance can get complicated. managing slots can get as complicated as managing it by weight (a spreadsheet for inventory, so it can add up the weight does the job) So does taking a trip to the renaisance faire. Seriously. Go watch the people in costume. How much gear can you carry, and be useful with your hands free, yet easily draw and fight? There are some pretty basic stuff like: you can carry a sword in a scabbard on your belt (maybe 2) you can carry a more daggers in more places you can carry a few belt pouches (plus a dagger, pistol and sword on the belt) You can sling a shield or bow on your back, and somewhat easily get it ready You can carry a backpack (and stuff in it), but it is NOT easy to get stuff out of, and somewhat easy to quickly drop reallly big weapons (pole-arms, big swords) are not easy to carry around. They always catch on stuff, get hung up, etc and if its on your back, its not easy to get it ready crossbows are cumbersome, because of the stock being a perpendicular to the bow arms. bow arms do NOT fold in, except in magic/fake tech circumstances (or when they are broken) A "normal" armed person probably has a dagger, pouch and a sword (longsword or smaller) on their belt. They might tuck a dagger/knife in a boot/thigh, or back One might have shorter swords/daggers carried on the back (like legolas) a cross bow or bow would be carried over the shoulder, and care has to be given when moving to not get hung up on stuff (either sticks out) [/QUOTE]
