[QUOTE="Notmousse, post: 3264383, member: 39739"] That's nondimentional. As a [B]non[/B]dimentional space I wonder why it weighs so damn much. 'Second, why's the rogue trying to carry a Type IV?' Because it's [B]his[/B]. Playing in a LGS campaign I have no choice but to carry my own stuff, or leave it in the hands of someone that's not me, and may very well die holding my stuff. Furthermore as the skill monkey I'm the one that's going to be using the contents more often than not (loads of kits, rope, doggy treats for Koro, etc...). 'The Handy Haversack or Type 1 would be better.' Which would be perfectly fine if I could go to the nearest shopkeep and say 'I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a rare, magical item today'. Unfortunately the LGS isn't quite so. And with the exception of perhaps the high magic campaigns would not expect magic item shops to be abundant, especially with treasure holding treasures. 'And, well, on your third point.. Because you don't get the ability to carry 1500 lbs for nothing.' So finding, then using your share of the treasure to 'purchase' it at a hefty price is 'nothing'? 'If the IV bag weighed only a few lbs, what would be the point of having any other type?' Cost, that a less experienced wizard could make one, that some people just don't need that much space, etc... 'Either you carry a lighter bag (with a smaller extradimensional space), or suck up the 60 lbs to carry, again, 1500 lbs worth of loot, dead bodies, crayons, whatever.' Why is my question of 'why doesn't this make sense' is answered with 'shut your piehole! When I was a young'un that's the way we played, and we liked it! And we walked to the game uphill! Both ways! In the snow! And we liked it!'? :confused: [/QUOTE]
