 A character can carry a number of items equal or less than his STR score without becoming loaded.   What exactly counts as a single item?  Mostly it is just that, if it is a thing, it counts as an item.  However, sometimes very small things might not count as a single item--as a rule of thumb, if the gear book gives it a weight of 0, then consider it takes 20 of the items to fill a pouch which counts as a single item.  Clothing, backpacks, belts, and sacks do not count as items carried.  Here are some examples: A character can carry a number of items equal or less than his STR score without becoming loaded.   What exactly counts as a single item?  Mostly it is just that, if it is a thing, it counts as an item.  However, sometimes very small things might not count as a single item--as a rule of thumb, if the gear book gives it a weight of 0, then consider it takes 20 of the items to fill a pouch which counts as a single item.  Clothing, backpacks, belts, and sacks do not count as items carried.  Here are some examples:
