Inventory Tracking Sheet (with Simplified Encumbrance)

Suggested Price $0.00

This sheet represents an attempt to combine the simple slot-based encumbrance of systems like Lamentations of the Flame Princess with the D&D 5th Edition variant rules. Your feedback is welcome.

  • Version 1.1: Added torch, oil, and ammo tracker. Added field for coin total.
  • Version 1.2: Added ration tracker. (The equipment list says that 1 day's rations weigh 2 lbs, but the exploration rules say you need 1 lb of food per day. I'm using the more generous 1 lb measurement.)
  • Version 1.3: Corrected armor slots, clarified instructions, and colorized headers.
  • Version 1.4: Changed grey lines and text to black for better printing quality.
  • Version 1.5: Added water tracker and daily food/water requirements.
  • Version 1.6: Added torch & lantern durations. Added quiver, case, waterskin, and jug capacities. Reduced ammo tracker to 20 to match quiver/case capacity.
  • Version 1.7: Simplified slots to palm/1-hand/2-hand system. (I think this actually ends up closer to standard encumbrance, due to rounding issues.)
  • Version 1.8: Clarified wording of ammunition & water slots.
  • Version 1.9: Fixed currency conversion rates. (Multiplication & division were swapped.)
  • Version 2.0: Clarified bundle size for torches & flasks (5 per bundle), corrected armor names, and added "items you are not currently carrying" to the Other Equipment description.
  • Version 2.1: Added easy & hard variants for torch rules.
  • Version 2.2: Added rations to easy & hard variants; created a fillable auto-calculating version. (This is a little flaky, but it available if you want it. It won't work in OS X Preview.)
  • Version 2.3: Clarified descriptions; added info for Large and Tiny creatures.
  • Version 2.4: Dwarves no longer suffer any penalties to speed, for consistency with earlier editions. (The 5e encumbrance rules are unclear on this matter.)

Carl,
First of all -- great product. I have used it for quite some time, and it's probably the most straightforward slot system I've seen so far.

Allow me a minor point. While I understand how slots are a simplified way to manage encumbrance if we're to compare them with painstakingly keep track of the weight of individual items. I'd point out, however, that the document uses the 'Variant Encumbrance' rules, and not the basic encumbrance ones -- which they have often been referred to as 'Simplified Encumbrance'.

Just thought I might mention that. Keep up the excellent work!

The rules for this sheet seem a bit to strict. A warrior with a strength of 15, using chain mail, and two-handed sword would only have 2 slots left for inventory. You might want to change this to be between 1.5 times the person strength to 2.0 times the person strength.

Under the by-the-book encumbrance rules, someone with a strength of 15 would be encumbered at 75 pounds (15 x 5). Chain mail weighs 55 lbs, and a greatsword weighs 6 lbs, leaving room to carry 13 lbs of equipment unencumbered, which is pretty close to 2 slots.

Of course, you can carry more items, up to 3x your strength— you just have to deal with the effects of being encumbered or heavily encumbered. Or modify the rules as you like. Or simpler yet, just don't use the system.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
