Things which can be easily concealed within one hand are "very small items".

Things which more than one of can be easily held with one hand are "small items".

Things which only one of can be easily held with one hand are standard "items".

And things which require two hands to control are "oversized items".

Awesome.  Ok if I credit you in my house rules write up?

I'm playing with pendants apparently.  I'm trying to import your encumbrance system into C&C.  Do you have any suggested guidlelines or explanations on what counts as a "very small item" that would then not count towards encumbrance?

I find myself getting peppered with questions.  An ink vial (very small?).  A potion vial (an item, definitely).  etc.

I'm looking for a couple of sentences to help them categorize.
