Encumbrance represents the burden of carrying equipment and affects your movement and combat ability.

Carrying Capacity

Your carrying capacity is based on your CON stat. Exceeding your capacity imposes penalties.

Encumbrance Levels

Light Load

No penalties. Normal movement and combat ability.

Medium Load

  • -1 movement
  • -1 to AGL-based checks

Heavy Load

  • -2 movement
  • -2 to AGL-based checks
  • Cannot run

Overloaded

  • Movement reduced to minimum
  • -3 to all physical checks
  • Cannot take strenuous actions

Armour and Encumbrance

Armour contributes to encumbrance based on its weight. Heavier armour increases your load and may require higher CON to wear effectively.
