Protection isn't the same as immunity.  You are less likely to get
poisoned, and *maybe* (i have my doubts) you take 1/2 damage of the poison.

The luggage idea was stolen from a book in which the luggage walked behind
you.

In Crossfire, the Luggage is an item which partly bears the weight of
what you put in it.  So, it'll weigh 1/2 what it normally would 
if it's in your inventory.
