I'm trying to find which system for encumbrance is right for me.

When I look at slot based I love it for normal equipment, but I start to worry about using it for small items and also if this means players would sacrifice being prepared for having room.

Like in most systems a bottle is a slot... which limits potions, acids, holy waters, oil, glue, etc.

Or useful tools compass, flint, whetstone, file, etc might be a slot.

Do you use partial slots like "tiny is 5 per slot"?

Am I overthinking this? I like the idea of characters having a variety of books, vials, tools and treasures and if each is a slot I'm kinda shutting that down.
