increase carrying capacity beyond 4 items

By damzow, in Talisman Rules Questions

hi all,

we were thinking about making a small change in the carrying capacity limitation.

i want to make work in the same concept of spells to craft relationship.

it seems odd that a charecter with 9 STR can carry only 4 items, and 4 items with just 2 STR.

in the same subject we thougt it would a good idea to limit the amount of follower one can have or bound of follower to craft relationship.

any ideas?

If I wanted to do this I would just emulate directly what Craft does with spells.

Base carrying capacity = 4 on STR 2 or less.

3 Strength = total of 5 objects

4 or 5 Strength = total of 6 objects

6+ Strength = total of 7 objects.

Obviously mules etc will add to this.

Well with the new rules that trinkets are not taking any space you don't need as much extra capacity as before, heck in the highlands most of the items are trinkets only, last time I played I had like more than 10 trinkets.

hehe .. yeah, simple and brilliant :)

when i looked at your answer i banged my head on the table. dont know why i didnt think of that. cheers!

Im not a big fan of house-rules but I think this was a really nice idea!

Prevents characters from having a unrealisticly huge entourage of followers.

Id probably go for 4 items and 4 followers at strength/craft 3/3 since its the "standard" starting stat. min 2/2 at 1/1 and max 6/6 at .. 8, 10 or something?
