[QUOTE="SelcSilverhand, post: 4013237, member: 30016"] Thanks for the replies. The flying creature problem pokes some holes in my argument. Reduce person divides the creatures weight by 8, and if you apply the same rules to the gear (size, length, width all halved, and weight divided) this removes encumbrance almost entirely. If you had a 10str your medium encumbrance range is 34-66lbs. If you were carrying 66lbs of gear and were then reduced, you would have an 8str, a medium encumbrance of 20.25-39.75lbs (reduced to 3/4's for small), and your gear now only weighs 8.25lbs when divided by 8. :confused: If you use the rules for gear weighing half as much for small characters when you get reduced, you end up with 33lbs of equipment, keeping you in the medium encumbrance range. This makes the most sense to me. We were using the PB2 druid variant and he only had the predator form available. [/QUOTE]
