Re: CF: Reality check: artifact containers

["Doug wilder" <doug_wilder@hotmail.com>]

     It recently occurred to me that artifact containers, such as The 
Luggage and sacks of holding, present exactly the same problem as Glowing 
Crystals. Weight limits, like spell points, are an integral part of the game 
and are an important means of balancing a character's power.  (Weight limits 
also affect spellcasters more strongly and in more ways than fighters.)
     Unlike most artifacts, both crystals and containers are useful in large 
quantities, at the cost of inventory space and management time.  Packing one 
magical container inside another repeatedly, like a Russian doll, may take a 
few moments, but it benefits the player in a geometric progression, each 
container multiplying the strength of each container it holds by its own 
strength.

Hmmm, Although i haven't tried stacking containers. i accidentally tried to 
put a normal pouch in a normal bag and got the message "You can't put 
Containers in Containers. Maybe, just the server im on, but i know that in 
other game systems it was a bad thing to try to stack magical containers 
(you all Know which one im talking about)..

I shall have to try it when i get the chance.
