[QUOTE="Ulfgeir, post: 8221488, member: 7015719"] Maybe have clearly marked slots for where things are carried/equipped. So for example: Oh, you have a polearm, well that takes up one of your hands just to carry it. What's that? You have a longbow as well, well that takes up the other hand just to carry it, so you will have to drop one of them to use the other... And a shield as well, well both your hands are already used, so you would have to sling it across your back, which means you can't have any backpack (so you can't carry anything else you need unless you are creative with belt pouches), and it can not be used together with either the polearm or the bow, so you would have to drop both of them to equip the shield and be able to use your sword, and it will not give you any plus to AC if it is not equipped....
