Encumbrance

How much you can carry.

Slots

You have 10 + STR item slots. A backpack adds 10 more (lose the backpack, lose those slots).

What takes a slot:

  • Most items that don’t fit in your palm = 1 slot
  • Bulky items (plate armor, greataxe, maul, etc.) = 2 slots
  • 100 coins = 1 slot

Containers:

  • Backpack — +10 slots (worn)
  • Sack — +5 slots (requires a free hand)

Over Capacity

If you exceed your slots:

  • Your Speed drops to Slow
  • Roll a CON save (DC 12) when you pick up the extra load. Fail = +1 Fatigue
  • If you increase your load further while already over capacity, roll again

If you exceed double your slots, you’re immobile until you drop something.
