    In the 2024 rules, rope:

    • weighs just 5lb.,
    • weirdly does not specify a length (so you always have enough??),
    • and is a bit harder to burst (dc20 vs dc17), but you can now use Athletics instead of pure strength

    oh, and the fancy Silk rope is no longer in stock.

      Glad I’m not the only one who finds it odd that no length of rope is specified any more. Chains are the same way, you either have it or you don’t apparently.

      Man, the 2024 rules seem stupid. It’s streamlined to the point of absurdity. Rope doesn’t have length? What?

      I don’t know why people play D&D anymore. There are so many better systems now that aren’t owned by the friends of the Pinkertons, WOTC. Pathfinder 2e seems like it’d be easy for most players to move to easily. Everything is better defined, so you don’t have to memorize a ton of exceptions like 5e.
