Rations weigh to much

[Viper]

I bought 50 of them So I could have enough for a decent amount of traveling. Now I cannot leave with that much rations because I am overloaded. Who eats 10 lbs of food a day

Its camping supplies, so food, water, cooking equipment, bed rolls, etc. Not just food. I wish you could buy a wagon though.

LIke a person needs a new bedroll and a new set of cooking supplies every day. That makes no sense. You need 1 bedroll. Not 1 for every time you camp.

Yeah, it's stupid - like so many other things in this game.

I just hunt for rations if outside and only keep inventory rations for when in dungeons.

I agree, most weight should be dropped after the first set is bought. Or a seperate ration option that we can choose.

You start with camping supplies as soon as you leave Restov. No reason why they should be weighing that much period.

I keep 3 rests worth of rations on me for when I can't hunt, so I carry no more than 18 and it's working fine so far

This.

I'm inclined to agree. Though it isn't so much that they weigh too much, as much as they are difficult to come by/replenish in the field.

Personally, I'd like it if we could convert food ingredient items into rations. Would make carrying ingredients more useful aside from the occasional buff. Like, a recipee that consumes food to create rations, but gives no buff.

Would be a nice compromise, I'd think.

I don't know why they changed it from the Pathfinder RPG. In the tabletop game a bedroll weighs 5 lbs, 1 days worth of trail rations is 1 lb, and a waterskin weighs 4 lbs. Even if we are carrying pots and pans the rations shouldn't have disposable cooking supplies.

I really dislike the fact that each character doesn't have their own backpack. I am not usually someone to advocate for more inventory management but the "shared stash" is a horrible idea. If it can be changed it should be.

Rations are meant to be used in dungeons where you can't hunt for food. Save them for moments where you really need to rest, for example if you can't escape somewhere but need to rest to get spells and HP back. On the world map, always hunt for food and never use rations. It's a waste.
