[5e] Use default carrying capacity instead of variant encumbrance #929

Closed thirteenwings closed 5 years ago

thirteenwings commented 5 years ago

[5th Ed] The dataset currently applies the variant encumbrance rules and corresponding penalties, with no option to revert to the default and more lenient PHB carrying capacity rules. Also, the Push/Drag value should be 30STR, not 25STR. Ref: PHB page 176

Mate, the encumbrance rule is as the default. The PCGen program is using the rules directly from the book. Each point of strength corresponds to 15lbs of carrying capacity.

LOAD:0|0 LOAD:1|15 LOAD:2|30 LOAD:3|45 LOAD:4|60 LOAD:5|75 LOAD:6|90 LOAD:7|105 LOAD:8|120 LOAD:9|135 LOAD:10|150

This code is using twice the value present: ENCUMBRANCE:PushDrag|2||0

And this code is saying nothing happens till you hit the cap: ENCUMBRANCE:Light|1||0 ENCUMBRANCE:Medium|1||0 ENCUMBRANCE:Heavy|1||0

That is in the pcgen default. I do not provide a gamemode for 5e. By default, it is using the more lenient system. If you want those changed, you need to ask the PCGen team.

I tried a fresh install, pcgen RC7 and the latest master. Only copied the data\5e folder into pcgen\homebrew instead of everything (including game modes, previews and sheets). I see where the problem is -- the "simple" character sheets display 5e correctly, the "std" sheets do not. This minimal install doesn't even give the std sheets as options for 5th ed, I haven't tried PF or 35e.
