If you’re unsure what an item’s bulk is, you can check the tables below! Most of the items in the PHB have preordained weights that have been converted to the simpler bulk system—if you’d like, you can refer to this table first and then guess an item’s bulk afterwards if it wasn’t included.
Bulk values for items on this list overrides any estimations based on the Bulk Table.
Feel free to ask the DM for clarification on an item’s bulk.
Disclaimer
Not all items on these lists exist in ECHOES OF THE OLD WORLD. These items are ripped directly from the PHB. These bulks can be used if they appear in the world, and they are also good examples of how to assign bulk.
