[QUOTE="Hatchling Dragon, post: 368620, member: 580"] I understand the importance, at least in an 'intellectual' way (to use that term [i]very[/i] loosely :p ), and I'm of course all for Modular designs. Might as well as there's little doubt that the program will need changes down the road, be they add-ons or whatever. This is, of course, much easier to say when you're not slaving over a hot keyboard on the acutal code ;) That's what I meant, though I'm not having much luck being 'clear' in what I mean vs what's coming out in text :( I meant that the program would be able to differentiate between 'weight in a container' and it's acutal weight in respects to skill checks 'n what-not. The [i]Bag of Holding[/i] is of course a prime example. Without an ability to distinguish between the two the 'magic bags' become relatively useless, and of course shoot any skill calculation accuracy out the window. Sorry, another goof. I wasn't implying that volume was to be considered, I just pointed-out that computers would be ideal to keep track of it if it [i]were[/i] an 'essential' stat. Thank goodness it's not. That's another thing that DM's are there for, keeping people from stuffing Halflings into the main pouch of thier [i]Haversack[/i] to avoid those pesky weight limits. Hatchling Dragon [/QUOTE]
