Weight Tweaks

Have you ever asked yourself why two lockpicks weigh the same as a whole shank of meat? Or how hoods weigh more than a tunic? You're in the right place.

I have reasoned that through the average weight of an apple, weights can be reconfigured as 1 pound equaling 10 in-game weight units. I took liberties in knowing that this is a game and balance is balance.

Surprisingly, most items were already reasonable to their real life standards in this weight axiom. I simply altered some that were out of line while trying to keep attention to balance. I tried to think about these from a quality of life frame of reference overall.


Re: Eat Your Hat and Keep Your Secrets

Some smaller mask items aside, the weights of these new hats are fine assuming the mining helmet is cast in iron.

The wolf, bunny, bear, and stag helmets are the most intriguing to me for a weight pass as they have the old iron helmet weight and AC but with benefits per blessing level... so I think they are solid mechanically and logically for their weight values.
