Bulk

Bulk measures how unwieldy an object is to carry, representing its size, weight and general awkwardness. Usually, an item or person has a Bulk Value equal to its size score, but unwieldy items usually have a higher bulk. Living, conscious creatures usually have a bulk one higher than their size due to their constant flailing. 

Items can have a standard bulk modifier, or they can be considered Light (L) or negligible  (-). For example, a knife or a smartphone has a value of Light, while a pen or credit card has a value of negligible. Ten light items count as 1 bulk (rounding down fractions), while items of negligible bulk only count when you're trying to carry a ludicrous amount. 

A character's Bulk Limit is equal to 5+their Strength modifier. A character carrying more than that is encumbered. A character cannot physically carry more than 10+their strength modifier.

If you're dragging something, you can count its bulk as half of its normal value. You can only drag one thing at a time, and you must use both hands to do so. If you're dragging in combat (such as dragging an unconscious ally behind cover), costs 3 actions, and you can move, at most, 1 range during that round.
