Track every sword, potion, and gold piece. PackWeight RPG calculates encumbrance by your game's rules so you can focus on the adventure.

No items yet. Use the fields above or quick-add chips to start building your inventory.
This uses the optional encumbrance rules from the Player's Handbook. Push/drag/lift capacity equals 30 × Strength.
Coins count: 50 coins = 1 lb. Most DMs skip coin weight for small amounts.
PF2e uses Bulk units. 10 Bulk = 1 Bulk unit. Light items have no Bulk until you carry several.
This tracker converts pounds to Bulk at 1 Bulk per 10 lb for items not listed with Bulk values.
OSRIC uses coin weight directly. 10 coins = 1 encumbrance point. Movement rate depends on total points.
Container limits matter. A backpack holds about 400 coins of gear. A large sack holds 600.
Set your own thresholds. Enter the weight values for each tier. Useful for homebrew systems or house rules.
Enter coins as an item with the total coin count and weight calculated at your coins-per-pound ratio (default 50:1). For gems, most systems treat them as negligible weight unless you're carrying a hoard. Enter them as 0 lb unless your GM rules otherwise.
Yes. Use the character name field and save each character's inventory. The share link stores one character at a time. For full party tracking, open the link in separate tabs or use the export feature to save each sheet.
Select Custom mode and enter your own weight thresholds. This works for GURPS, Warhammer, or any system with numeric encumbrance rules.
Double-check your Strength score and the selected system. D&D 5e uses 5×/10×/15× STR multipliers. Pathfinder uses Bulk. OSRIC uses coin-based movement rates. The wrong system selection is the most common cause of unexpected results.
Add the mount or cart as a custom item with its carrying capacity. Track the mount's load separately by creating a second character entry named after the mount.
PackWeight saves to your browser's local storage. If you cleared your browser data or are in private browsing mode, the data is lost. Use the export button to save a text backup, or use the share link which stores the inventory in the URL.
Load your starting inventory before the game starts. Print the sheet or have the share link ready. This saves time when loot drops mid-combat.
When enemies drop armor or weapons, add them quickly using the quick-add chips. The meter updates instantly so you know if you can move at full speed.
Use the tracker to split loot fairly. Each player can see their current load and decide what to take, sell, or leave behind.
For hex crawls and wilderness travel, encumbration affects daily travel distance. A heavily loaded party moves slower and may need to abandon gear to cross difficult terrain.
