[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6471181, member: 22424"] Well, I wish it did, because that's the sort of thing that's useful to a decently-sized subset of players. That said, I have no intention on using encumbrance rules in 5e, so it doesn't bother me too much: it would have been a "nice to have", but no more than that. (And, in general, I find the encumbrance rules in D&D, at least since 3e, to be almost absurdly generous. If I were to use some sort of encumbrance rule it would be based less on the weight a character can carry, and more on the practical question of where they carry all this stuff - with a key consideration being that getting things out of backpacks/sacks should take a significant amount of time.) I would suggest putting together a "cheat sheet" for common magic items (potions, scrolls, wands), probably by looking back at earlier editions. Other magic items are hopefully sufficiently rare that you can look those up (or pick a figure) when actually assigning them in treasure. [/QUOTE]
