That's a completely valid approach that works perfectly well for large numbers of players who either trust their DM or don't want to be bothered having to memorize a bunch of detailed rules (or both).As for the encumbrance table, I've already explained previously in this thread why I think including it in the DMG was an error (or, more precisely, an imperfect correction of an error). Continuing to harp on that issue isn't going to accomplish anything more.</blockquote>
