[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 288587, member: 2011"] I'm on the fence with this one as a DM. And, as a player, I enforce myself. But, there are two reasons why this is a pain in the butt: 1) It is somewhat hard to keep track of such bookkeeping. 2) A lot of items in the book weigh SO much that you have to have a Strength of 14 or higher to have a halfway decent chance of carrying even normal equipment. So, I understand why players are reluctant to even attempt it. It's just not fun to either actually do, or to contemplate how much you are actually carrying. Recently, the party in my campaign went through a portal that only allowed magical items and any item touching your skin to go with you. It sure cleared up the bookkeeping problems quick and made sure that armor was the overwhelming factor as to who was encumbered or not. :) [/QUOTE]
