@LTNetjak After which there would be much rejoicing

Yeah, adding the consideration for supplies and camping utensils really brings it all down to three weapons max - the cumbersome primary (bow, polearm, shield), the secondary (longsword, battleax, mace), and the backup (dagger or another short blade). Anything else with the armor and a backpack would push it to where you won't really get far.

Who dosent. In RPG games im always carrying around dozens of shitty swords and sell them at the blacksmith

Always maxed out the carry weights and can never run

you never realize how much you need a second shield until the first shield breaks :/ Bernard Cornwell talks about this a lot in his series of books, I've lost count of how many shields the main character goes through alone in a shield wall

@@firstname4097 Alone in a shield wall ... taken out of context, that phrase is rather humorous.

Who are you and what have you done with Shad? The Shad I know only says the word “machicolations”!

Realistically, a travelling adventurer would want to have a smaller shield to carry, as the increased weight of the kite shield wouldn't be conducive to long travel (unless said adventurer had a noble steed).

@@LordofDragns Actually, I'd guess the weight would be less of an issue in this case than the shape. Greek hoplites used round shields upwards of 10 kg in weight and they could march just fine. But imagine walking through the woods with a 3m spear sticking over your head and a kite shield scraping the top of every bush you pass.

Go one better and have the Newt approved suitcase zoo and house combo(that fantastic beasts movie)! Definitively a problem with D&D that is frequently overlooked at times - probably because the living in the wilds aspect of travel rarely lends itself to good story or action so you might spend a few mins sitting each night watch but that is usually it. Nice if you can work the realism in though, I think I might have to create a moment where the adventures are being hunted by something(s) dangerous enough to force them to move fast - a good way to have some quality story and potential action while making the load meaningful.

@@Gamerdude535 For sure! Definitely a magical bow like a +1 bow or something should have that kind of property, which would eliminate the action to string it.

Why can't the stringing of the bow be part of the action to attack?

@@Nubbletech A whole turn (action and bonus action) is only 6 seconds. Have you ever tried stringing a longbow? Even being super fast, it would take a lot of time to remove the bow from your back and then string it, and then actually shoot it. I know from experience, haha, I have shot bows for many years. But in the end, it is the DM that gets to decide that stuff.

@@inthekitchenwithmatt I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. Since English is not my native language I didn't know what you meant by "stringing the bow" and just assumed that you meant it should be an action everytime you want to draw the bowstring, which would make archers take two turns to attack each time which would be pretty unfair.

Yes, would actually be very interesting

*Hiyahs in Hylian*

They do teach rolls in bare-handed combat styles. The thing about rolling is that yes, you can dodge an attack that way, but whoever you dodged will probably just follow you. In weapon combat where attacks might be slower, or in mass combat where an opponent might get distracted by something else while you roll away.

Only in a mix of ranged and melee. I find rolling can help to make you a harder target for archers, as you temporarily made your squishy parts the bottom instead of the top. Not so great in melee, but it can help to move from cover to cover when arrows are a problem. Source -8 years LARP, 7 years martial arts.

Monty Python levels of commenting.

LOL

I'm reminded of the end of my freshman year in high school, our teacher was telling the class that "All outstanding library books must be returned to the library before the end of the week." One student asked, in genuine seriousness, "What about books that aren't so great?"

I was actually considering the same thing, as well. Adventurers often have to travel long distances and what about the supplies that they would need to support themselves in the wilderness along with the question of extra equipment how would that factor in? I know outward at least considered the idea with droppable backpacks in regards to fighting with excessive amounts of gear/loot.

I was thinking similarly the need for camping gear, food and water and the weight it would add. Yet if an adventurer had a pack animal they can bring more gear, weapons etc. Also another aspect to consider is the duration of the adventure. Is it just a days outing for several hours or a long journey which would worth considering in choosing what to bring.

I was going to mention the same exact thing. In addition to what you mentioned, there's the belt pouch or two for coins which, in addition to their weight, is going to take up space on the belt leaving less room for additional weapons there. One more thing, in addition to extra weapons, it's not exactly unheard of in RPGs for adventurers to have extra armor as well. If not with them when they start off on their adventurer but by some point they'll have acquired extra armor, in addition to weapons, as loot. So an adventurer would start out with their initial loadout of weapons, armor, supplies, and money then, depending on the length of the adventure and opportunities to go into town along the way, they'll have acquired several more weapons and pieces of armor, plus who how many coins, gems, and pieces of jewelry. They'd probably carrying close to 100 pounds of stuff with bulging packs and multiple pouces strapped all over their body to carry all of their loot.

@@seanlavelle344 Pack animals cost money and food things like pack animals horses should realistically only be available for financially more well off experienced adventurers

All relative to the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow which is, surprisingly, perfectly proportional to the groundspeed velocity of a laden adventurer, as long as that adventurer is deprived of his head, a large source of weight that slows down many adventurers.

Until you go into a dungeon...

@@tpstamer In that case you've hopefully researched what monsters are likely to be in the dungeon and can leave the things you don't need that would get in the way.

Preferably with horse-drawn carts.

yep, games need more squires so the player would only carry what they would use, and call the squire to carry the loot after the battle or swap equipment before the next battle, that is basically what i did in skyrim because eventually the follower gives more headache that help, specially if you are a rogue

Hirelings. Always gotta Norbert your party up. Also, if there's dragons, that means magic, so gotta be some dimensional storage items a'la Bag of Holding or Asian storage rings.....

Correction: The only thing Shad really cares about is how many *pommels* he can carry. 😈💣💥☢️☠

It depends on if he uses or shares in combat Id wield a greatsword, 2long swords, 5 javlins, 5-10 throwing daggers, 2 normal daggers and a cutpurse knife Come at me bitch, i can take your spells and disarm attacks and run you out of weapons XD

Yes I agree. Cause wouldn't a knight going to fight a dragon have a squire. Also, what about a mount? Knights did train as mounted warriors also and you could strap a lot of weapons on your mount!

I would drop the cart, add a big ass backpack and 2 coconut shells.

We have the barbarian pulling a hand cart. Whenever combat happens, which is often, he just drops it. Once it rolled down a hill into a pond. It was awesome antics.

All purses are actually bags of holding.

Well that and you don't want to become a vulnurable wepon rack. To be honest if they made more realistic: 1) You have free equipment slots for Dagger ,sword, hand axe 2)You can carry up to two weapons in your hands but this will hinder your attack if they are too heavy. 3)Shields have three slots how ever their effectiveness is limited and gives you a stamina and preception penalty. 4) Can take under garnements (mail armor, gambeson) 5 Spell slots (More like scroll slots) are only occupied when put into a bag. 6)Magic pocket probably eats mana away and destruction of it shall flung away items as projectiles (awesome weapon idea).

Eh, never cared for when games restricted you on what you were allowed to do based on class, it's why I never got into D&D, and why i got annoyed and dropped WoW (of course WoW was an entirely different czn of worms that already had SEVERAL issues with) Games like Elder Scrolls are perfect for me, when picking a class, you have set things that you're good at, you can work on those really fast and be really good if you work. However, just because your specialization is in Heavy Armourm does not mean you cannot wear a lighter set and then train it up, I love that freedom. You have caveats where there are general guidelines, but if you get inti a situation where "okay, well shit, my life would be so much easier if I learned this" well, you can, because it's not a special skill you picked on your class, it will take a LOT more effort to work with it in the early stages, but you can still do it if you're patient. Skyrim throws this out the window, but literally every single other game in the series goes by these rules. Besides, I don't like carrying multiple weapons anyway, if what I have is serviceable then I won't change it unless the new thing is better in every metric, hoarding and just lugging it all around can be Immersion breaking, if I'm going to hoard items, I will only grit my teeth to carry the most expensive ones, I ain't leaving empty handed after all. Sorry for the tangent, I'll shut up now.

​@@temkin9298 1 ever tried collecting 20 swords? would be pretty cumbersome 2 I am not sure if you are talking dnd or games, but dnd does this and games like dark souls also do this. furthermore, that's why some weapons are dedicated 2 handed 3 what do you mean shields have slots? 4 in dnd I always assume the undergarments are part of the plate outfit 5 spell slots in dnd aren't physical objects, it is just a way to visualize your mana potential without casters having either very few spell uses or casters only using their strongest spell. 6 what magic pocket? If I were to be allowed to make dnd I would change a few other things first, because the 'carryweight rule' is one of the most realistic things, yet often skipped. I would make a greatsword a d8 weapon, with the ability to hit the opponent next to it for 1d8 as well. The longsword would take the place the greatsword now has, and the longsword would then become a bastard sword. Then for armor I would try something to make piercing/bludgeoning/slashing more relevant on armor type. But since this is currently spread over multible variables a lot should be tweeked to make this work. Especially for slashing it would be a hard nerf vs heavy armor otherwise.

@@Olav_Hansen 1) Yeah, true but at least you could deploy something without putting it in your back pack. 3) Shield slot is a seconday slot for shields and concield armaments, basicly you can you can use a bow with a shield (2 is just gonna tire you but you can equip it) or you can do something wacky and take 2 Shields in each hand while wielding a greatsword. At least i thought i would be cool if it existed officaly. 4) I guessed, it would be cool to have a undergarments with magical proprities. 5) Got it 6) Bag of holding aka. It's bigger in the inside magic pocket

That assumes that the dragon is animalistic and will eat without considering things, or that the dragon won't smell the poison. Leaving outside DnD's "dragons are REALLY darn smart" trope, Dragons are often told to have extremely good senses, including smell and touch. That could let them pick out the poison even inside the carcass. Beyond that, even then, a Dragon breathes FIRE, do you think it'll be that easy to find a poison that'll work against such a beast, especially considering its size? Finally; the temperament of the dragon. You presume that the dragon is going to sit there, while you're burning rocks, as if that'll annoy it? Again; it breathes fire. At most, it's going to become really, REALLY annoyed all that smoke is making his treasure lose its shine. That, eh, how do I put this... that'll REALLY piss it off.

@@LilacMonarch 100% The "average" person cannot realistically lift, push, and drag 150 lbs worth of stuff. But from a game perspective I tend to use PF2e's bulk system because it's unobtrusive and requires very little thought on players or my part.

Ngl, i love rpgs which make you stronger for overloading yourself...

@Martin Evensen This is very true. And it's actually why I like PF2e's bulk system more since bulk is determined by both weight and shape making a spear more difficult to carry than a sword of equal weight due to its awkward shape (although I actually think the spear would be easily carried strapped to a pack but that's neither here nor there) I still don't think there's any system that realistically models what a person could carry with them effectively. Which is generally why I just tell my players "be reasonable" and they end up with a main hand weapon, an off hand (or melee weapon for the ranger), a few potions, a length of rope, some rations, two waterskins, a small coin pouch with a notepad to calculate their total wealth (a majority of which is left in the city), and the Fighter carries a few pitons and a crowbar.

Yeah but you gotta think about what's fun to play. Weight management is really fucking boring and if it's done poorly then it's not fun. In fact I remember one guy saying that the fallout/elder scroll games are much more fun when you cheat infinite carry weight but remove the ability to fast travel. Because when you need to worry about carry weight then you're just fast traveling between towns back and forth back and forth and it sucks

I completely agree with your assessment except I imagine that the shield would snag when you try to swing it out. Perhaps a smaller shield would be in order?

Shield slung to weak hand side . Also the Poleaxe seems to have been forgotten when the d20 system used since 3.0 came out. It was definitely not neglected in the AD&D First and Second Editions! Historically it was the late Medieval period Knightly battlefield melee weapon, a short pole arm with a thrusting spike, an axe bit edged for anti armor use, and a war hammer pol on the other side. So, plate armor, long sword and dagger as back ups, no shield, pole axe as primary. Pack with rope, food, water, potions, etc. other party members bring ranged firepower. In the newer editions, the poleaxe would be an exotic weapon.

@@jeffreyroot6300 Excellent points and if you were a solo adventurer you could bring a small crossbow (to my understanding it's a lot easier to carry then a longbow please correct me if I'm wrong).

Matt N Even a light crossbow i IRL using medieval technology is a fairly cumbersome thing. Not a bad idea, but I would put it in the baggage if I were living that reality. Every day travel I would be in lighter armor and only wearing the sidearms as long as I weren’t campaigning. That’s what our ancestors did!

you could also get a waggon like mad max enter thunderdome and store all your goodues/sleep in there, especially for faster travel because horses ;) and if your travelling with companions you can have a designated eagon watcher to keep it out of danger and unprovoke the horses but yes gotta have the frying pan to turn into a drying pan, and crit the enemy with a head strike, but yes backpacks are a good solution i mean technically you could attach swords to the sides of the backpack too depending on the particular build

He's been damaged by years of non stop fighting, has realized how pointless picking fights with random idiots (because why bother when you can easily kill them but they can get lucky and hurt you regardless of your skill), he's extremely pragmatic, wears little armor since he's constantly on the move and heavy armor will slow you down on a long march, he's always got a back up weapon, lives off the land in realistic ways (killing his horse when he didnt need it anymore and knew he'd need the meat), he points out how pointless "fancy" types of armor/clothing is over ugly practical gear, and like many extremely experienced people he tries to teach others. He's a berserker too but he isnt the "really angry, suicidal idiot" you usually see in fiction and only slips into it when he'll probably die without it rather then going berserk because someone called him ugly or because he stubbed his toe.

Ahhh yes, the Bloody Nine. Classy chap, a good thing he didn't end his days getting old in a throne

@@goncalotavanez like Conan?

@@jakubguziur7522 not familiar enough with Conan's late days to talk about it

@@goncalotavanez well he became the king of Aquilonia and as far as I know, he didn’t lose the title (at least permanently), as he felt greatly responsible for the kingdom and would rather die than lose or betray the crown

Mattias Hicking And also why they use gladiuses most of the time, it is way lighter.

20kg for 50km is a lot less than you think. Marine officers are currently required to take 152 pounds (nearly 70kg) on a 9 mile march (14.5 km) in under 3 hours. This is currently becoming a point of contention in gender politics as they say this weight is too much for women to become officers. Many modern light infantry units carry upwards of 200 pounds (90kg) for up to 35 miles (56 km). Modern soldiers carry over 4 times the weight in the same amount of time over the same distance. The factor not mentioned is that mechanized infantry use vehicles to carry the bulk of their gear, Roman legions used baggage trains and thus were not expected to carry everything on their bodies. With these weapons and armor, the bulk is more difficult to handle than the weight. The premise of the video is lacking. I like Kyle Hill, but his math assumed your gear will not cause long term damage to your body. Surviving tomorrow is more important than back pain 20 years later.

There is an awesome passage in Cicero's Tusculanae Disputationes.

@@abonynge Bulk and inconvenience is a lot worse than the absolute weight, yes. Packing the weight correctly makes a huge difference in how easy it is to carry and how likely it is to cause injuries. The 70 kg example is extreme, because it's not what's expected to be carried every day on the march - it's more of a forced march while carrying the injured.

@@gunnar6674 Look at mortar crews and squad gunners, their daily kit can exceed 90kg. This is excessive and it does cause long term health problems. But every person who dies from lack of equipment encourages the next to carry more.

Ds3 moonlight great sword for style, crystal estoc for the staby stab 50 vig, 0 attunement, 50 int 👍🏻

- Zachary - 50 vigor? Isn’t 27 the soft cap? Vitality is better, Catarina and Moonlight gs/prismarine dagger is the ultimate fashion.

I prefer Saint's Bident with SSS myself, maybe a claymore.

@@commandericeman8588 I usually went Stealth for Bandit Raids. I screwed up in the early game and didn't practice Bow nearly enough, so I could barely hunt, let alone hit a moving target that was actively trying to kill me. Might try starting over some time.

Squire: “well, it’s a long par 5 to the dragon’s eye....I’d say, respectfully, for this fight we should opt for the Sir Robin maneuver....”

The Squire, caddy to the knights.

Had a dual-wield longsword master in a game I ran and he absolutely had 6-8 longswords of varying magical effects on him at all times. I made him take a second feat "quick sheathe" if he wanted to swap them out quickly instead of just discarding them on the ground.

Ha! On survival mode you're lucky if your lockpicks don't over-encumber you.

@@vanyadolly just carry like 10 and take a save before you go lockpicking.

@@afinoxi nerd life hack right there

@@bobbyrayvictory6905 when using live another life mod (that alternate start thingy) , always choose "I want to escape this cell" choice before choosing anything else and take the lockpicks from the table. The other starts don't give you any and you can't really open any locks for some time. After taking the lockpicks choose the start you want , it won't cause any problems.

Doomguy: *confidently smiling*

Unless you are playing a solo campaign. Or maybe your character simply has terrible social skills and can't find a party. Like that one kid on class who nobody ever picked for group assignments.

Well, for the archers safety give them daggers at least.

@@redblade5556 I mean that is why u would use the gate of Babalon

@@boxbo7926 No, I have infinite sweetrolls from a modded summon sweetroll spell.

Shad ate them.

Horses can only carry up to 10-15% of their bodyweight, and if you ride them too hard they will still get chronic health issues at those weight levels. Mules and donkeys can carry more but they cannot ride as fast, carts and wagons help a lot in these cases.

@@LurkerDaBerzerker also, I doubt you want to take your horse inside a 5 level underground dungeon to fight a demilich

@@alexandrerafaelblasi753 Indeed, that's where golems and kobolds come in handy. Flesh and bone golems are both constructs, and the materials aren't hard to gather or work with.

Reminds of the last time I played D&D. Started at level 5. A couple thousand gold or so to start. Other players bought magic stuff. I tried covering for them by buying wagons, horses, tents, food, etc. DM hated me for thinking that way. None of those rules were used. Punishment began.

@adam briton yes just his shield choice against a dragon needs some work, the full body cover Towershield if you fight a dragon against fire breath would be a better choice if you asked me.

that is why i made a one punch character, the only weapon i used was the fat boy for huge monsters, it was hard at first, really cool in the middle and eventually brainless because i could teleport with critical strikes and reset critical with kills, i was basically the 4th hokage teleporting from enemy to enemy

@@devforfun5618 OH OKAY THEN, I'VE CLEARLY DONE SOMETHING WRONG!

@Mihan Mihan MODS for katana's and now you are a the 4th hokage

When you get to modern, cyberpunk or outright scifi RPGs, combat-oriented chars often seem to end up walking around with an armoury's worth of weaponry. =D Belt-fed, heavy&long-barreled selective autorifle with proper sights could mix DMR, suppressive and general riflework as a primary weapon, and maybe sling a grenade launcher underbarrel... But it does get heavy to carry. What if you need 1km+ range? Anti-armour against MBTs? Anti-aircraft? CQB? An even more multipurpose weapon good/decent at a lot but not excelling in anything, like a shotgun or multiple-grenade launcher with a variety of some really interesting specialty ammunition? What about getting all that crap around and actually shooting it without busting yourself up? Vehicles or cybernetics are fine, as long as you got fuel/energy or access to the vehicle. Biogenetic augments ofc help if the metal fails, but if you have to lug it around you better hope it isn't illegal in societies that have laws and the organised violence to back them up against the common murderhobo. =D Think the best "balance" I had was with dual longarms in CP2020: one LMG with underslung micro-missile launcher and one 40mm multilauncher with underslung microwave beamer, and a 12mm machine pistol as a backup/CQB gun, with muscle&boneweave bioware to make sure I could keep hauling all of it it along and withstand recoil... Though both longarms were obviously illegal and thus not everyday carry. xD Unless I could score RFID corporate licenses or high-quality forgeries, but even then I'd have made myself a huge target to gangs, lunatics and rival edgerunners, nvm that the law and corpsec would definitely still keep an eye on me in case I decided to USE them. ^^; I do wish Fallout had a bit more "realistic" armour and physics, so there'd be an actual need to prepare for various foes and circumstances... Like in Jagged Alliance 2, the player actually had a reason to lug HP ammo around past early game, as AP ammo wasn't necessarily efficient enough to deal with unfriendly wildlife encounters.

He definitely looks Stronk 💪

@@Aezeus PC would be telling him he's alt-right for losing weight because losing weight marginalizes large people.

Bill Melater it would be pretty impressive to marginalise a fat person :^)

@@blakdeth a message for you sir

@@blakdeth who are you so wise in the ways of science

I carried 2 javelins, 2 throwing axes, a pole axe, and a buckler. I got my dungeon master to allow me to use the pole axe and buckler at the same time and for the buckler to be an improvised weapon.

My barbarian carries his greatsword Deathcry along with two +2 shortswords he uses like daggers, a massive warbow, and a back up kukri. Oh, and like 8 daggers stuffed wherever they fit.

I'm playing my first barbarian (I don't usually play martial classes) and even though we're only 3 sessions in I already have a rapier (my main weapon), two longswords, a Warhammer, three shortswords, three shields (I do use one of them...), a "healing" potion the BBEG gave me (definitely poison and I will use it as such later on), a longbow, a Shortbow and two daggers. Oh and a small knife from my background. I think I'm going to need a bag of holding XD

​@@rafaeldelimacampos4524 oh yeah I only USE my rapier and shield the rest are... spares??? I don't know. I just get an urge to pick up the extra weapons.
