[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7004115"] I agree it's perfectly rational and logical, but how does that work according to the rules? Is there a new column on the spreadsheet for "location", or are players expected to write that in themselves? Again, I'm not arguing with the logic of it, just saying that the game currently doesn't have rules that say anything about where we store items that we carry, so: a) In the absence of more specific rules, it's opening up a Pandora's Box to implement one rule that depends on the definitions. (And if it's the kind of table where players and DM don't argue about these kinds of things, they also don't need a new rule.) b) But even worse would be to actually implement the necessary framework of rules and definitions. Or, looked at another way, what's wrong with just leaving out the part about where you store it? If you are free to specify that it's stored in an accessible location, why bother to ask anybody to do thusly specify? Who in their right mind would say, "Oh, I put them at the bottom of my pack?" Way easier to assume that if you're carrying it, it's in a good spot. [/QUOTE]
