"Repaired the Forager Bag. It was causing people to lose weight when placing items in the bag. It is supposed to have a weight reduction component, but was not supposed to cause weight loss."

The original bag was supposed to reduce the weight of its contents by 25%. Apparently, somebody misplaced a decimal or something in the code and it reduced the weight by 250% instead. In addition to making any race/class into a virtual pack mule with greatly reduced falling damage, the original Forager's Bag allowed monks to pretty much ignore weight when choosing equipment.
