That is actually your character's body weight.  70 kg (154 lb) is 
about right for human characters, assuming they don't have beer 
bellies. :-)  By contrast, a fireborn weighs a mere 15 kg.  However, 
to clear up confusion, perhaps the client needs to be sent just the 
carried weight rather than the total weight?

      Any ideas?
     
     
On a side note, maybe a unit conversion facility would help keep folks 
from being confused-- and help keep item weights reasonable by not 
confusing archetype writers (a lot of stuff is ridiculously heavy).  
Crossfire uses the metric system, which seems to confuse folks in the 
States who aren't expecting it. :-)
