armo(u)r weight

Are leather armor and iron mail armor both supposed to weight the same amount? They're both 17.0 units.

So's plate mail, and item material doesn't make a difference either. Either encumbrance =/= weight (which would make a degree of sense, but still give no solid excuse outside of 'balance' -- which is acceptable, really -- for leather to be taking up as much space as plate) or it's just not been adjusted yet. A lot of the item weights seem a bit off, really...

[greycat]

Yeah, that's true. All swords and axes weigh 3.0, and I believe staves weigh 5.0. That doesn't seem right.

[Shoob]

yeah, Encumbrance is more of a size thing not a weight thing. that is why staves have a larger encumbrance than swords and stuff.
