About Weight and equipement

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

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!!!!

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
