[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6533159, member: 22424"] While this is all true in theory, it suffers from the twin weaknesses that it comes up so rarely as to barely be a restriction [i]and[/i] on those occasions where it does come up it results in an annoying time-sink as the PCs traipse back out of the dungeon and to town for a lengthy shopping trip, just to get back to the "good stuff". I'm still of the opinion that the DM would be better deciding whether mundane equipment is actually important to his game. If not, just let the PCs carry (essentially) whatever they want, since it's not important. If it is important, he probably wants something significantly more constraining than even the variant encumbrance rules to force the players to choose only those items that they [i]really[/i] need. I appreciate, of course, that your mileage probably varies on this one quite a bit. :) [/QUOTE]
