Storage

Items can be Readied, Carried, Worn, or Stowed.

  • Readied: you can have up to (Wits or Dexterity / 2) Readied items (rounded up), in belts, bandoleers, pockets, sheaths, etc.
    • You can access Readied items freely, though using them requires a suitable action.
    • Weapons, shields, and ammunition need to be Readied to draw promptly.
  • Carried: items are already in hand.
    • Carried items can be dropped as a free action.
    • Sometimes a bulky item will have to be Carried, in addition to its encumbrance.
  • Worn: gloves, clothes, rings, helmets, cloaks, armor, etc.
    • Worn items do not need to be Readied to use, and apart from armor, most wearable items have 0 encumbrance while Worn.
    • You are limited in how much you can wear according to logic.
  • Stowed: all other items carried are Stowed; stored in packs, jumbled in sacks, lashed to you, etc.
    • To access a Stowed item in haste, first take an Action and roll 1d6 - (DEX or WIT), min 0. This is the number of additional Actions it will take to unearth (if 0, you have it immediately).
    • Once you see how long it will take, if you choose to cut straps, dump out bags, etc to hastily paw through your Stowed gear, halve the additional time it will take, rounding down. Dumped items may smash, roll aside and be lost, etc, and if you flee, it will be left behind (it will take a Brief Rest to regather and pack up again).

Encumbrance

Items have an encumbrance value.

  • 0 enc) small items that are effectively weightless, unless in very large quantities.
    • Most gems, rings and other small jewelry or trinkets, talismans.
  • Light enc) small items with negligible weight (0 encumbrance), unless carried in bulk. If you have more than one, treat it as having 1 encumbrance.
    • Less than 250 coins, a wand, a dagger, a hip flask, a potion bottle, a folded up sack, 10 or fewer ammunition, a piece of folded up clothing (gauntlets, cloak, hat).
  • 1 enc) most items of significant size.
    • Most weapons, toolkits, waterskins, spellbooks, coils of rope, shields, 500 coins, 20 ammunition (and quiver/pouch), 10 iron spikes.
  • 2+ enc) heavy and/or bulky items.
    • Heavy weapons (2), medium armor (3), heavy armor (5), large treasure such as tapestries, chest, crates, statues, etc.

Containers

  • Small containers (pouches, etc) are negligible and don't need to be tracked. Just assume they're there.
  • You can have up to 2 large containers (packs, large sacks) as weightless items. Additional sacks have encumbrance 1.
  • If you want, you can note what items are in a container, allowing them to all be dropped or picked up collectively in a hurry.

Load

Your Load is how much your current encumbrance affects you.

  • For every size above Medium, double your Vigor for purposes of Load. For every size step below, halve it.

Load Level

  • Light
    • Up to Vigor / 2 (rounding up)
    • No effects.
  • Medium
    • Up to Vigor
    • Take +D to mobility skill checks such as swimming, climbing, and jumping. Winged creatures can't fly.
  • Heavy
    • Up to 1.5 x Vigor (rounding up)
    • Take +D on all Dex and Vigor stat, skill, save, attack, and effect checks. Take +D on initiative. You cannot swim. Winged creatures can't fly. Slowed +1x (combat and exploration speed halved).
    • Long distance travel may incur more fatigue.
  • Overburdened
    • Up to 3 x Vigor, or 30 x Vigor pounds
    • As Heavy Load, but you can only move 5' a turn. You are dragging, pushing, or staggering beneath the load.
    • After pushing or dragging for 10 minutes, every further 10 minutes, +1d10 Fatigue (Vigor save DC 13 for half). A Brief Rest resets this count. Carrying causes immediate fatigue, without the initial 10 minute grace period.

Attunement

Some magical items require attunement to the bearer's spirit to use.

  • A character may have up to (1 + HALF + SPT) attuned items (min 1).
  • Attunement may require special actions (a particular ritual, slaying something with it, a full moon, etc). By default, it requires a Long Rest including meditation / contemplation of the item.
  • If you've reached your limit, you can (usually) relinquish an item of your choice as part of attuning a new one.
  • An item can only be attuned to a single character at a time, and attunement ends if another attunes to it.
