[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 994093, member: 1368"] I think the truth is the system is lopsided top to bottom. I wish sometimes that they redid the system with a lower scale from top to bottom. Instead of a character having 800,000 at 20th level (Sorry I have no idea what the actual amount is) they would have 80,000 or even less. I mean when a dragon has all sorts of coin it screws the whole system and loses realism or at least a level of realism to which we can suspend our belief to. The cost of supplies up to cost of magic items is horrible inflated. I realize that a level of realism is lost in making it generic and ignoring actual resources and skills but there must be a way to assume an average. As far as how much things weigh I liked the system in Aftermath and old postapacolyptic game. Tough to understand rules and such but it had a neat and fairly simple encumbrance system. A cross-reference chart of weight to bulk that gave you an encumbrance number. It wasn't perfect but better than D&D's hit and miss system that isn't explained. You would have two numbers one is weight other is encumbrance. I mean I play and don't pay any of it any mind because I don’t have the time, patience, knowledge etc to change or create a whole new system. Later [/QUOTE]
