Formula

Carrying capacity in stones (to go from no burden to light):

10 * ceiling [2.4 * (STR+STA)]

The same formula can be applied for light to somewhat, somewhat to burdened, etc. Just add .4 to the multiplier for strength and stamina (2.4 in the above formula) for each step above light. e.g. from light to somewhat the multiplier would be 2.8, etc.

For capacity in coins, multiply by 5.

Note: Beards and mustaches do add your burden level

Encumbrance Levels

Burden from lightest to greatest:

  • None
  • Light Burden
  • Somewhat Burdened
  • Burdened
  • Heavy Burden
  • Very Heavy Burden
  • Overburdened
  • Very Overburdened
  • Extremely Overburdened
  • Tottering Under Burden
  • Are you even able to move?
  • It's amazing you aren't squashed!

Effects

Encumbrance causes a penalty to evasion starting at Light Burden.[1] Previously, the penalty started at one point of burden.

Changes

There are no racial bonuses or penalties anymore.

Acknowledgements

  • Formula figured out by Hilbert.
  • Simplification by Evran
