[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8871923, member: 29398"] We have to abstract combat mostly because we can't very well swing swords at each other at the table, never mind what the local law enforcement might have to say about it. Social interaction is played out at the table, though, and rarely if ever reduced to die rolls. I kinda handwave encumbrance - I'm not fussy about even getting it all that close - but if someone's clearly overloaded for their size/strength I'll have a word; ditto if they're trying to carry too much bulk even if it doesn't weigh all that much. But itemization? Absolutely. Specifically to avoid all the "But I would have..." arguments from years past, it's a hard-and-fast rule here that if it's not on your character sheet, you don't have it with you. And yes, this occasionally means someone forgets something obvious like rations or a waterskin or ammunition for a bow. Tough. [/QUOTE]
