Message: <blockquote data-quote="Argyle King" data-source="post: 6076001" data-attributes="member: 58416">Usually, what I do is write my character sheet in such a way that I know where things are.For a quick example:Backpack-blanket-bottle--lich ashes-ropeThe dashes indicating that something is inside of something else.When playing D&D, I find that encumbrance tends to be ignored, so I don't worry about it so much, but that's how I write things out for myself when playing games where it does matter.  I also usually make a few notes for myself to make it easy to remember what weights are for common loadouts I might have.  What I mean is that I would write down my weight carried and encumbrance level for when I'm carrying everything, and I'd probably write down what it is when I'm not wearing armor.I somewhat assume most D&D players handwave encumbrance, but that's something which has also struck me as somewhat curious.  While I understand handwaving for ease of play, one of the complaints I see most often about 'mundane' characters (especially in 3rd) is that they are too easily outclassed by casters.  While I do agree to an extent that they are, I also suspect that things might be a little more difficult for a wizard if said wizard had to obey some of the rules that were most often overlooked.  I still believe there would be some disparity between classes, but I'd be interested to see how a game would play out with those rules being given more attention.</blockquote>
