So, after reading this thread, I understand the server performance hit that "too many" weapons was causing. I'm completely fine with stacking multiples of the same weapon. However, I thoroughly hate this 6 weapon limit.

A no-frills warrior with a sword (slashing & piercing), mace (bludgeoning), shield (thus shield bash), fist for brawls, and a crossbow for ranged and backup dagger is at the limit. If he picks up a lance or a variant weapon like a silver dagger, I have to start bumping items to the Locker.

If everyone is playing and has a HLO account up & running, it's manageable but the only scenario where that works in my world is when it's just me and my kids. I run for a group of friends and I'm trying to limit electronic devices at the table and I can already see sessions grinding to a halt as players wonder why they can't find a weapon stat block on their character sheet.

I'm definitely in the pro-HLO camp, but this sucks.
