Title: Weight?
Post by: Anonymous on October 04, 2005, 12:24:51 PM
Is there a command to weigh items? Or get a general idea of how heavy it is in respect to your personal strength?

Like...
weigh sword
It is relatively light.

I believe you see the weight when you pick things up? (maybe?)
But what about things you already have on you.

You either need a decent Value skill, or a tool to weigh with.

Also, when you pick something up it will tell you roughly how much it weighs.

I think Asses Object will also tell you a bit about it.

Yeah, and if you want to entertain yourself a little bit with it you can do things like:
You want to know more about a biscuit so you...

ass biscuit

I wish there was a generic skill given to all PCs that would let them tell whether or not something was noticeably heavier or lighter than something else in their inventory.  Obviously not accurate to the fraction of a stone, but enough to let you know whether or not your PC is holding a ginormously heavy item.

> weigh bow crossbow
Both feel about the same to you.

> weigh bow shortbow
The shortbow feels lighter to you.

In a perfect world this would work on items in a merchant's inventories.
