Topic: Food supplies and character encumbrance
I've recently starting running a test game using LoTFP rules and I diligently enforce the encumbrance rules on the player characters.
Currently the players are often traveling from a Keep to an adventure area and thus need supplies of food and water. So here is my question: How much encumbrance on the character sheet does a weeks worth of food and water take?
I could see how a week of iron rations might only take up a single slot but what about water? Humans need a lot water when doing strenous exercise and I can only imagine that adventuring would require quite a bit of liquid supplies.
Or is it simply a matter of not being that important of a thing and just saying 1 week of food supplies is one slot on the encumbrance chart?
