I haven't played the new WFRP yet, but I was thinking about if FFG put out a set of equipment cards. The major reason is that it could be really easy to do a simple encumbrance system. I'm thinking of something like this: each race can carry a number of Loads (Humans get 3, Dwarves get 4, etc...). If they carry more than this number of Loads they get a penalty to any physical activity (say an extra challenge die). Each object carried would have a card detailing any stats it might have (like a weapon's damage) and it's weight category. The weight categories would be Large (a suit of plate armor), Medium (a sword), Small (a dagger), and Tiny (a coin). A Load would be equal to six Small objects, three Medium objects or a single Large object (Tiny objects are up to the GM's discretion). Each player's items are placed in different decks, each deck being a different weight category . Once you carry that number of cards in a deck/weight category, the top card in the deck is turned over as the other side reads "ONE LOAD." Any further items in the same weight category are placed in a new deck.
The pros to this system are that you can instantly see how many Loads your character is carrying and adding objects is a snap with no math involved. The cons are that it adds more cards to an already card-heavy game and that it might wind up taking too much table space. What do you guys think?
