Just like older versions of DND, we have a rules light system but a rather detailed logistical system when it comes to carrying stuff.That said I dont really have a problem with the system, just with the way it was implemented . The equipment section is confusing and full of errors ( quivers for arrows but not bolts?). And some values seem odd. I also disagree with the role of containers, and Ive houseruled that backpacks are and ENC of 0 when worn empty.What I do like is the fact that PCs cant be pack mules. D20  struck me as a bit "unrealistic" since you can carry tons of stuff. C&C presents ENC as static (8 plus str bonus) which I think is right considering theres just so many places you can stow stuff on the body. As in real life PCs will probably depend on horses, pack animals and dumping equipment when going into battle. Though the penalty to AC seems a bit harsh, it seems analogous to max dex and armor check penalties in d20. To me encumberence isnt just about the load you carry but how it effects agility and mobility, not just speed. Its just not all about weight.In the end and depending on the "official" erratta that comes down, I may not change too much.</blockquote>
