About Weight and equipement

[Smoltok]

Hi all,

Just a simple question, why when you change the number of an equipment, the weight didn't change ?

I had to do it myself or I forgot somethings ?

It doesn't change the weight of the item on the inventory list (that's just the weight of one item and won't therefore change).

However the total weight in the 'current' box at the bottom of the inventory screen does change to reflect the new weight

OMFG !

Where were my eyes ???

Thanks for the precision Zacchaeus !

Also if you change the weight of an item to reflect the number of items your total weight will get really messed up .. an example... if a foo weighs 2 lbs and you have 5 foos and you manually change the weight to 10 lbs then FG will adjust the total to 5 x 10 making your total weight for foos an additional 50 lbs.... because it thinks each foo weighs 10 lbs instead of 2 lbs.

So. You can never have too much foo. Dump some other gear to make room. *sagenod*

What I like to do is create items called Platinum Coin,Gold Coin,Silver Coin,Copper Coin etc and give them a weight each of about 0.33lbs. (instead of the usual way. The money is Acually in your inventory) NOW lets see them take that 50,000 copper pieces!!!!

Weight for coins is good idea, players will have more realistic view and dont want take everything at once. +1

That's some pretty heavy coins. In early editions Gold pieces were weighed in at 10 = 1 lb, so 0.1. In 3e onward it's approximately 50 to the lb, so .02 each. Historically you'd get about 26 gold pieces to the lb, so about .04lb. each.

OOPS! Just double checked my campaign and yep I made a mistake 0.033 lbs Not 0.33lbs

[BubbaGrim]

In my campaign I have an item in the players inventory called coin weight, it's set for .02. They then just add up the number of coins they're carrying and update that number in their inventory. It's led to some interesting discussions about what to leave behind to carry more coin. <grin>

Anyone know how to remove the weight of an item from your "Current" because it is being stored in a Bag of Holding or Quiver of Ehlonna?

[LordEntrails]

Click the icon on the right of the item line. It toggles between 'worn', 'carried' 'uncarried' (or similar)

[Tyronius]

Of course, thank you. If it was a snake...

Not a problem. There are a thousand things to learn about FG. And then some :)

[Paperclipkiller]

Alternatively you can create PC just for say a Bag of Holding. That way you can track the weight of what's in it easily. Put stuff into that bag by dragging it from your Inventory to the Bag PC. It's how my group does it. It works rather well.

Love how there are multiple ways to do things in fantasy grounds.
