Weight¶
Weight per inventory unit: Not fixed / not specified
Depends on the chosen form; select its specific item entry or set its actual weight.
Counts multiply by inventory quantity. Ammunition quantities count individual pieces; other bundle entries and complete packs use the printed bundle weight. Do not add the same contents separately when using a complete equipment pack. See Carrying capacity for character limits.
