I still think I probably imagined it but the other night I was checking out inventories of the party, doing maintenance so their encumberance stays in the white rather than blue and I noticed a funny thing.

I added up how much party (not personal) weight the entire party was carrying, added it up, then, then I got rid of a 20 lb. bundle of arrows from party inventory and and added it up again. It only went down 10 lb.!! I tried this several more times with other items and moving them in or out of player inventories.

Apparently, items weigh only half as much when they are in party inventory as when they are in any player inventory. I guess that's to simulate the relative difficulty of carrying an item on your person rather than just putting it away... on a magic mule.
