Hi, everyone,
I'm *sure* this has been covered before, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. Thank you for your patience.
How does the weight of, for example, a medium-size suit of chain mail (40 lbs.) change when the medium creature wearing it is under the effects of Reduce Person?
The wording of the spell seems to clearly state all equipment worn is reduced to an eighth of its original weight, i.e., 5 lbs.
But the rules for armor state that small-sized armor weighs half that of medium-sized, i.e., 20 lbs.
Similarly, just to confirm...
* if the character is carrying a hammer, its weight temporarily drops from 2 lbs. to 1/4 lbs.
* if the character is carrying a bag of holding, its weight temporarily drops to 15 lbs./8 = ~2 lbs.
Can anyone point me to official answers...or something very close?
Many thanks,
Allen
