Droppable Backpacks (Encumbrance)

It would be nice to have a subsection under the "Item Name" section, that would represent the character's backpack. If toggled all the items in the backpack would be added to the total weight. If untoggled all of the items in the backpack would not be counted towards the total weight. In this manner players could "drop" their backpacks before going into combat and reduce their encumbrance. I realize that many of your players probably do not play the game using encumbrance or that they rules allow for 5-10x ST in pounds to be carried by the PCs, but hopefully there are some players out there, who want a bit more realism and have reduce the max-carry weight to 2 x ST in kg (2.2lbs) which is a more realistic albeit still quite fantastic burden. 

Good suggestion. This would be much faster than manually unchecking each item in the pack.

Hi Oliver M.,  It seems this is a character sheet specific suggestion. I would edit and put which sheet you are suggesting this for. And perhaps include this suggestion in the specific sheet's forum thread (if this is a "by Roll20" character sheet).

How silly of me.  The suggestion is for the D&D 5e (20014) character sheet. I will try to find the specific sheet's forum thread. I was not aware that there was a "thread per sheet" forum topic/approach.                                                                                                                                                  -Oliver M.

Here it is . Only certain "by Roll20" character sheets have an official thread. This is one of them.

Some sheets may allow you to "carry" a pack with a negative weight.  Add an item (ie "Drop Pack") that has roughly(or precisely...) the weight of your your combined gear.  Just toggle the equip/carry option when you drop your gear. Looks like the official 5e by roll20 allows this workaround if you use the sheet setting " IGNORE NON-EQUIPPED ITEMS WEIGHT ".

Thanks for the tip. I should have been able to figure that out on my own, but . . . . I didn't..   Thanks! 

I doubt this is the system you would like but I added exactly that and a good few other additions to the d&amp;d 3.5 character sheet. It's a bit niche unfortunately but fits my table really well. Go into the code and search for 'selling' just about everything there will be useful for you to figure out how to do it yourself. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSun/s/pyIzGtt53a" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSun/s/pyIzGtt53a</a>
