1.12.3 Equipment size

All items of equipment are rated with a size rating. This shows how the character can carry them:

• S means Small. Small items are small enough to be concealed under or in a character's clothing. These items are usually less than about 30 cm (12 inches) in length. Examples of small items include coins, knives, etc. Small items can be concealed, worn at a character's waist or held in his/her hands. Small items are too small to be conveniently carried on a character's back unless they are stowed in a suitable backpack or bag.
• M means Medium. Medium items are too large to be concealed, but may be worn or carried in a character's hands, at his/her waist or on his/her back. Medium items are usually less than about 150 cm (5 feet) in length. Examples of medium items include swords, bows, backpack, etc.
• L means Large. Large items are too large to be concealed, or carried at a character's waist or on his/her back, but may be carried in a character's hands or lifted. Examples of large items include polearms, most livestock, furniture, etc.
• W means Worn. Worn items are designed as clothing or armour, and are usually worn on a character's body. Examples of worn items include helmets, armour, clothes, belts, medallions, etc. All worn items will also have a separate size rating (i.e. S, M or L) for when they are not being worn.

All items of equipment are also rated with a weight. This determines how encumbering these items are for a character to carry.
