Carrying Capacity of Items

nak9788

First Post
I could have sworn I saw a table, at least in the PHB 3.0, that listed all the weights of a Backpack, sach, belt pouch, etc. More importantly, it showed how much they could carry (in volume) as well as "full" weights for some items (like a waterskin). However, I now have the 3.5 version of the PHB, and I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know what happened to this table (for those who can remember what I'm talking about)? Does anyone know where I can find this table? It used to be in the "Adventuring" section (I think).

A link to someone who has it posted would be really great (I've already looked but haven't seen it yet).

Also, if anyone has custom rules (or knows about any "official" rules) regarding how much weight (in average) these items can carry, it would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

It's in the 3.0 PHB, and they most definately took it out of the 3.5 PHB. The reason? No one knows.*

The table, however, is in the 3.0 SRD. I've posted it here For Your Convenience.
