If you count calories you burn about 3600 a day as and adventurer. Go back to imperial, at least that made sense ! Obviously encumbrance is far easier to compute than before.ġ weeks of rations if L (bulk) - my understanding is 10 x L (bulk) = 1 B So you should write:Īnd, somehow, instantly see there are 5 symbols. (1) accourding to some posters, you aren't even allowed to write "48 arrows (5L)" on your sheet because this would put several L on the same line and it's harder to add 5 than counting the number of lines with a "L" symbol. The new system is a pure failure because its only purpose was to simplify accounting and it doesn't achieve this task. Counting the number of "L" symbol is an easy operation when there are 0-3 such symbols it isn't when there are 5-35 such symbols - especially when 5 of those symbols are hidden in the line "48 arrows" and 5 other symbols are hidden on the line "rations for 1 month" (1). The new versions would be simpler if it didn't comport a lot of fiddly parts. TotalWeight + floor(gp/100) (for weight in kg) (remember, you shouldn't write "4.8 B" on your sheet because per the rules as well as several posters, 8L is 0B so you shouldn't account for it).Īlgorithm to compute weight in old version: IMPORTANT NOTE: nL is a local variable each time you get a new L item, you have to re-run the whole algorithm to compute your whole bulk again. TotalBulk = totalBulk + floor(n/10) + floor(gp/1000) The rest of us can total bulk values at a glance and be done with it.Īlgorithm to compute bulk in the new version:Įlse if (item = arrow or bolt or shuriken or. Those who hate the bulk rules can continue to ignore encumbrance, just like they did before. L is only 1/10B if you have more than 9L. but I don't have a problem with it considering every day alchemy, mundane magic and the like.īecause the stated goal was simplification. You don't eat comfortably or very filling off of it. its not that weird to keep that much food for one person in a pouch. Looking at the past of the real world (which honestly should rarely be done for RPs), the meat fat + berry semi preserved goop in a bag that could be lived off for a while, on long hunting trips(on land or boat) in Alaska. So, I really don't have issues with the idea of rations being very small. and in the outside of my small pack I had probably around a week of it around there. Heck real world caloriemate you can live off (not most comfy but you can/i have) for a very long time. If you were actually in shape, and rationed well, not terribly crazy to me. One Caloriemate box is pretty fine for 2 days (not great but fine). I have always assumed Rations were like Caloriemate or Lambas bread.
