	'''The Backpack's contents are inaccessible unless it is set down'''. Backpacks are designed for carrying the bulk of one's inventory, but tend not to be designed for immediate access. As such, if one desires to access their backpack items while in combat, '''1 turn must be spent to set down the backpack''' during combat, so that it can be accessed and opened. This affects the ability to take items out of the backpack, but also the ability to put items inside.		'''The Backpack's contents are inaccessible unless it is set down'''.
