    Meanwhile my fighter has 18 strength and is encumbered by the items he got from character creation… I don’t think 5e did a very good job with encumbrance. There is a reason most people ignore it.

      It’s not fun. Fuck it. It’s a land of magic, that’s why my backpack can fit a full suit of armor and 5 swords.

        *it’s not fun in 5e

        Bulk/weight/encumbrance in other systems is handled well and makes it so equipment choices matter more and the players choices have more impact on the game, while not being terribly designed so it feels like a chore (aka 5e)
