Editing Dwimmermount: If Trouble Was Money (section)

=== Encumbrance ===
*For weight purposes, a gem is equivalent to a coin unless I tell you otherwise.
*If you have purchased a purse, it may contain up to 50 coins/gems without further encumbering you.
*If you carry more coins or gems than this, then each 200 coins or portion thereof counts as one "thing."
*However, up to a thousand can be counted as 1 stone. This basically means that the sixth parcel of up to 200 doesn't weigh any more than the fifth. That's fine, it works out reasonably well.
*If items of Jewelry are worn openly they do not count for encumbrance. However, others will certainly notice your ostentatious display of wealth. Otherwise, the rule that very small single items do not count for encumbrance 'does not' apply to Jewelry treasure. Even a single jeweled ring counts as an item unless you wear it.
*One day of food counts as one thing. Seven days of food counts as one stone.
