Super Simple/Reasonably Accurate Encumbrance

No "weighing" required.  Does a Long Sword weigh/encumber the same as a Lantern?  Not exactly, but close enough!  Allows Old School Style approximation/negotiation

ENCUMBRANCE

Most carried/equipped items, in a wide range of sizes, from a Medium Weapon (hand axe, short sword), lantern, 50’ of rope, up to larger items such as Primary Weapons, Rations (1 day) take up one ENC Slot, however…

Worn Items clothing and jewelry do not count toward Encumbrance

Armor Light = 2 Slots, Medium = 4, Heavy = 6

Oversized Items long/bulky items count as two (or more) slots; Heavy weapons, Medium shields, polearms, longbows, a quiver arrows (20), 100’ rope…

Monies 100 Coins / 5 Bars/Ingots / One Brick = 1 slot 

Small Items = 3 per slot; torches, Light Weapons...
