[QUOTE="Salamandyr, post: 7889272, member: 40233"] Try the [I]thing[/I] system. You can easily change the [I]thing[/I] to stones or encrumbrance points or whatever you wish. It works like this: You can carry a number of "things" equal to your strength score. Carrying more than that incurs encumbrance penalties. For every increment of 5 over your strength score (rounding up), you lose 5 feet of movement. One handed weapons are 1 thing two handed weapons are 2 things each quiver counts as 1 thing 100 gp are 1 thing every 4 small items count as 1 thing 1 day of standard ration counts as 1 thing 1 week of iron rations counts as 1 thing Light armor counts as 2 things Medium armor 4 things Heavy armor 6 things The logic is-if it's something you can carry in one hand, it's 1 thing, if it would require 2 hands, it would qualify as 2 or more things. So other equipment can be extrapolated from there. Oh, and remember, spellbooks are minimum [B]2 [/B]things. so you just count up all your item, and adjust from there. If you want to make it a little harder on the little guys-up the number of things for armor, rope, and such that are truly bulky. [/QUOTE]
