BAg and backpack capacity - is this enforced?

Does the program enforce or notify when you put too much stuff in a bag or pouch? I know the docs tell me a pouch can hold 100-200 coins or 2 apples, but will it tell me if I put too many potions in the pouch, as an example?

Where a maximum weight value is given in the description for an item (as with a bag of holding), there is a validation check for that. We don't even attempt to track volume, almost nothing in the game gives information on that, and given that some things have a degree of "squishyness" even if it did we wouldn't be able to account for that.

Just a thought though, if a belt pouch can hold 200 coins, wouldn't that mean that it could hold up to 4 lbs of weight? as is there is no limits at all on the pouch that I can see, I figure it might be fairly easy to add.

Weight limit yes, Volume hehe no. Although if someone wished to make a really small pouch be super restrictive on what contents it can hold you can add validation scripts to a custom made pouch and have it complain anytime one of your players adds something that just shouldn't fit in such a pouch. Granted a codex method of allowed items is much easier than a prohibitive list script would be.

It's pretty easy to house rule, if you want to make that call. Just copy the item and add a value to the gHeldMaxWt field.
