[QUOTE="Khel, post: 8461810, member: 7033182"] I would like to say this and give a brief example, 1st: i'm not saying make it difficult or time consuming but...... here is the example- if a person has a strength of 16 then we know that 16 x 15 lbs= 240 lbs able to carry. All i'm saying is that I think that me as a player and or a DM should either give the DM or the players an idea that HEY go ahead carry it BUT a backpack will still only carry by 2e rules 50 lbs which now leaves the rest to be sorted out I don't need to know all of it just that you are aware, and that you have come up with the means to do it. because whether walking through a Dungeon or the Forest 240 lbs held in your arms like fire wood , will not as we all know leave you to attack or defend. Again i'm very understanding and know that it can an does become time consuming, and that's why I say just as long as you know how much each thing can carry and that you have enough to be able to do so and to be able to attack or defend then the time consumption goes down. Personal feeling here the OLD way......... the NEWER want what the Video games give you quick fast battles an we are done ...... the use of using the mind to me has gone down a lot. *And Yes all the above could be carried by Magic but there again how much magic is in your Game. Lastly if you look at the example in the POST about a Military backpack that can carry 120 lbs why can't we make one in the Game....... get it magically made to act like the Hewards handy haversack or a bag of holding........... we can!!!!! WILL cost but hey. Sorry Lengthy again........ I cam up with bandoliers that held potions....... my wands had a thin wire attached at the end you held and secured to my wrist that way, let go pull sword or able to cast spell....Heck I even came up with special boots that held 3 arrows on the outside of them........all ways to carry more and less time consumption ......and in MY book just because it says you can doesn't mean you can.......an old DM taught me that.
