D&D (2024) D&D 2024 PHB errata thread +

"Weaver's Tools" are 5 pounds. Tell that to her six looms!

Early looms where just a few study sticks. Could be 5lbs.

the 3 lb. Potter tools. Even a traveling potter still needs a kiln.

Clay was first fired with just a campfire and what you found by digging. 3lbs includes a small shovel.

It won't have the long term durability of a kiln fired pot, not something to pass down to your kids. But it would hold water for a while.

I realise that this question is slightly off-thread, because it addresses potential errata rather than actual differences between the print and digital versions of the PHB, but... how much do tools weigh, according to the PHB 2024?

Yes, the print version has the weights listed for each tool set. Here is an example:



It's too bad they didn't include a list of each tool set's contents like they did in Xanathar's. In that book, it says "Weaver’s tools include thread, needles, and scraps of cloth. You know how to work a loom, but such equipment is too large to transport."

There was a brief moment during the playtest where they thought about standardizing all tools to have the same cost/weight... guess not. That difference between 8 and 9 pounds must be very important.
