Message: <blockquote data-quote="tetrasodium" data-source="post: 8641909" data-attributes="member: 93670">a dagger is still 1 pound, rapier is two pounds, whip is three pounds. 5e got rid of the lower power tiers of pointbuy & the -2  that were there in the past like on 3.5dmg169 so even with the strength8*5 variant the character has a 40 pound capacity.  even after subtracting 13 pound studded leather+2 pound rapier the character has 25 pounds remaining to carry stuff & could certainly devote one of them to a spare dagger.  The system is so generous that it's not even a mild inconvenience to carry a couple extra tools/weapons/etc until you start getting into things like  a 3 down to 1 strength pre-errata kobold.  The goalpost seems to be on rollerskates here rather than simply moving.... Is there any level of unpreparedness that becomes a bridge too far?</blockquote>
