It's how much weight it can hold, not how much it weighs..
Edit: oh, maybe I'm missing the DnD joke
I'm still missing it
The item in-game weighs 10lb, IRL less than 1. They're stealing our inventory space.
Yeah, sure, 800lbs is how many adventurers with gear climbing at once? An average sized dragon born carrying its capacity in equipment is 478 lbs per the tables in the 2024 phb. So, better hope you aren't in a hurry and need two people on the rope at once.
Oh and hope you don't need to pull your draft horse up a with it, as a small horse weighs 900lbs on its own.
You need heavy climbing rope, and that's gonna have a lift load of several thousand pounds. 10lbs for 50ft is about right. Here's a modern material rope that can carry 10,000 lbs. It weighs 10lb per 100ft. https://www.bluewaterropes.com/product/12-spec-static/
Hemp is gonna way significantly more than polyester with the same tensile strength.
Ahhhh, makes sense
They again...
Jokes on y'all, I've already bought a Bag of Holding.
... FUCK, that was their plan all along!
