[QUOTE="billd91, post: 9110705, member: 3400"] I think a lot of us would agree that encumbrance based on weight alone isn't enough to truly cover all elements of being hindered by carrying things that may be bulky. However, the way it currently relies just on weight isn't simply a legacy issue. The original encumbrance system from 1e [B]did[/B] feature bulkiness beyond mere weight (See Appendix O of the DMG). Moving to just incorporate weight was D&D [B]abstracting itself away[/B] from that additional complexity of trying to also estimate something's relative bulk and how to modify its weight as a result. That said, I do think the PF2 bulk encumbrance system does have a lot going for it. [/QUOTE]
