A character that wears no armor, shield, shoes, gauntlets and only light clothes similar to a monk's outfit gets a +5 bonus on Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Jump, Swim, and Tumble skill checks. Such a character can carry two items no larger that three size codes smaller than herself (such as a light weapon or very small bag) strapped to the body.

When using Balance and Jump, the character can be wielding a staff or spear, otherwise her hands must be free.



Light weapons are two size categories smaller than the wielder, not three. From the SRD :

"A weapon’s size category isn’t the same as its size as an object. Instead, a weapon’s size category is keyed to the size of the intended wielder. In general, a light weapon is an object two size categories smaller than the wielder, a one-handed weapon is an object one size category smaller than the wielder, and a two-handed weapon is an object of the same size category as the wielder."

Why two items? Surely a weight limit would be better, since that would allow a monk to cover several shurikens tucked into a sash. (4 shurikens weigh the same as 2 daggers). --Urban Blom
