 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:

 He can carry 10 items without becoming loaded, so far he as 9 of them.  We can assume he’s wearing normal clothes, wearing a backpack, and has a sword belt and scabbards.  He is in leather armor, so now he is Normal, so 6”--30’ of movement.  If he should get more than 300 more coins, he would tip over into the 10th item, and if he should pick up one more item, he would become “loaded”.  Then, he would drop to 5”--25’ of movement. He can carry 10 items without becoming loaded, so far he as 9 of them.  We can assume he’s wearing normal clothes, wearing a backpack, and has a sword belt and scabbards.  He is in leather armor, so now he is Normal, so 6”--30’ of movement.  If he should get more than 300 more coins, he would tip over into the 10th item, and if he should pick up one more item, he would become “loaded”.  Then, he would drop to 5”--25’ of movement.
