minus-squareSusaga@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoMy assumption is they meant a much thicker rope, but yeah, definitely not as heavy as they say.
minus-squaremoody@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoYeah I wouldn’t even call that rope. Cord, perhaps, but it seems too thin to be called rope. Modern climbing ropes are still less than 10lbs at four times the length. Not sure how the density compares, but it’s not 4 times denser either.
minus-squaretestfactor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoThicker rope would presumably have a higher test value though, and it seems that most people interpret the hempen rope in 5e as being under 800-test.
