This refers to the backpack that is used by player characters to tote items. The pack is a default fixture in the game. How many items the pack holds is dependent on a PC's Strength score.

Pack Sizes

Size Strength Score Number of Items
Small 1-4 10
Medium 5-6 20
Large 7-8 28
Extra Large 9-10 36

Over Incumbrance

When a character’s pack is full, they are considered to be incumbered. Whenever a character is incumbered, their Speed drops by their Dexterity score. This is because the more weight you carry, the slower you are going to maneuver. While this is not a big deal when simply “humping” stuff around, it becomes a problem when a dangerous situation develops.

Example: a character has a Strength of 7 and a Dexterity of 8, and thus they have a Speed of 15. If they have a full pack, their Speed would drop to 7 (subtracting Dexterity score).
