Character Creation

As you can see, Morgan has equipped chainmail, a shield, a sword, a shortbow, and a quiver of 20 arrows. In her backpack, she has packed rope, a tinder box, three days of iron rations, and a waterskin. I have also given her a large sack and 4 gp to demonstrate how containers and tiny items work.

The chainmail and shortbow each take up two item slots, while the sword and the shield take up only one. The quiver is listed with the bow because it is accounted for in the weapon's weight. Her rope, tinderbox, and waterskin also take up only one slot each. Since the rations are small enough, she can bundle all three of them into a single slot. If she had a full week, it would take up two and one-third slots. The gold is also tiny so that I can slip into any slot just to put it somewhere. Remember that 100 coins take up one whole slot. Also, assuming she has an average Str of 9, she can begin filling out her chart from the Str 9 slot downwards. Because her equipped items list reaches down to the 60' (20') movement rate, Morgan can only move that fast until she lightens her load.

Finally, notice how she used the backpack (which she bought) to hold her packed items by listing them as being inside the backpack. A single backpack can hold four item slots, making it perfect for her. Her large sack is empty right now, so it occupies its own slot, but once she fills it with treasure she will erase the large sack and just keep track of the six slots that can fit inside of it.
