[QUOTE="machineelf, post: 7121541, member: 6774924"] I use the very cool equipment tracking sheet that you can find here: [URL]http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpgdownloads.php?do=download&downloadid=1232[/URL] It's amazing, and my players keep track of day-to-day adventuring gear using it. (It uses the more realistic and gritty alternative encumbrance rules.) Now, my players enjoy details like this. We've been playing together for years and enjoy keeping track of the specifics. If I were running a short campaign with people who were new to the game, I wouldn't bother. But if you do want to run a campaign using the details of encumbrance, it really pulls in and highlights other rules and abilities, like strength scores, the use of mounts to carry gear, spells like tenser's floating disc, and magic items such as bags of holding and portable holes. It makes all those things important. And the above sheet makes keeping track of gear much simpler and actually fun, so I highly recommend it if you go that direction. [/QUOTE]
