Inventory Slots
Inventory slots describe storage capacity—how much can a thing carry without being overwhelmed?
Anything that can hold, carry, or contain objects can make use of inventory slots—for example:
- Creatures use slots to describe how much they can carry before they're encumbered.
- Containers use slots to describe how much they can store before they're full.
- Buildings use slots to describe how much free space they have in their rooms.
- Vehicles like carts use slots to describe how much they can transport before they can't move.
Bulk
Objects and creatures use bulk to describe how much space they fill—the bulkier the object or creature, the more space occupied.
Bulk represents the effort needed by a medium-sized creature to carry an object based on its size, weight, and shape. The more awkward or uncomfortable it is to hold an object, the higher its bulk.

Your Inventory
Your inventory is made of four separate containers:
- Bag. Has an amount of slots equal to your Strength ability score or 10, whichever is higher. Holds Medium, Large, and X-Large items.
- Coin Pouch. Holds 100 GP, 100 SP, and 100 CP.
- Bauble Pouch. Has 10 pockets. Holds Small items.
- Odds & Ends Pouch. Has 100 nooks. Holds Tiny Items.
Unless noted, all gear besides typical clothing fills one gear slot. Gear that is hard to transport might fill more than one slot. See the Item Bulk List for examples.
The bag of a Small PC has an amount of slots equal to half your Strength ability score or 5, whichever is higher. For Large PCs, your bag has an amount of slots equal to your Strength ability score or 15, whichever is higher.
