Community Forums: D&D 5E - Item weights and incumberance in kilograms

Is there a way to toggle item weights and encumbrance from pounds to kilograms in the D&D 5E character sheets like you can choose different units of distance for whole games? I found a couple of discussions from 4 years ago about this and nothing since, so I guess it doesn't hurt to ask if that has been implemented since then.

Hi EduardoMS! Which D&D sheet? There are over a dozen that handle either D&D or a 5e variant.

I use the D&D 5E 2014 sheet, but I couldn't find that option in any other 5E variant.

To clarify: since it's easy enough to just consider 1 kg = 2 lb and write that in the character sheet, what I'm looking for would be simply calculating carrying capacity as STR x 7.5 kg .

Hi EduardoMS,  If you go to the Bio and set your size as "Tiny" (without quotes) the carrying capacity will have the maximum value you want (Strength x7.5).  From there you can put in the kg values for the equipment.  Note: I would turn off coin weight as it won't be accurate. If you want coin weight you can put that in the equipment.
