[QUOTE="Arlough, post: 5926633, member: 79335"] I'd xp you, but I don't know how to do so from my phone. My group has been using Encumbrance Units since 3e was released. Two of us have quite a bit of knowledge of medieval weaponry, and the weight of things like swords and bows irked us. Then we decided that looking at the number as an abstract of how difficult the item was to deal with not only made more sense, but was more useful in over 95% of the situations the characters found themselves in. I like rules that cover most situations, and then making exceptions for the remaining situations, not the reverse. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2 Edit: Found a computer but it looks like I still need to spread XP before I can give you any. Anyone willing to XP [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/324013-does-anyone-find-encumbrance-amounts-unrealistic.html#post5926552"]Kzach's post[/URL] for me? [/QUOTE]
