1 weight weighs 1 weight. It’s not a measure of anything, it’s an abstract value so you have a vague idea of how heavy/cumbersome stuff is in relation to other stuff.
In other words, it weighs whatever you want it to weigh, because the actual weight of the items is completely irrelevant to anything.
it deals also not only with weight but with how obstrusive and unwieldy the thing is.
So a multi-part interlocking staff that can be broken down into four 2″ lengths, despite weighing a little bit more, may only be considered 1 weight, while an 8′ staff might be 2 weight because it is cumbersome to haul around (must be carried in hand or strapped to pack making the carrier clumsy) Tim Franzke?
Yes, that’s basically right. Weight is abstract so you don’t need to pay close attention to everything in order to limit what characters can carry.
