02/13/2009 - This formula is inaccurate to the best of my knowledge. All results are higher than they are in true testing. Following equation is perfectly accurate for me at 27 [[strength (stat)|STRENGTH]] and [[Stamina (stat)|STAMINA]]. It's only off by .1 for someone with 40 [[strength (stat)|STRENGTH]] and [[Stamina (stat)|STAMINA]].

10 * [ 2*[[strength (stat)|STRENGTH]] + 2*[[Stamina (stat)|STAMINA]] + ((STRENGTH+STAMINA)/5) + ((STRENGTH+STAMINA)/5) ] - Kharm

Formula

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

10 * [ 2*STRENGTH + 2*STAMINA + INT((STRENGTH+STAMINA+4)/5) + INT((STRENGTH+STAMINA+2)/5) ]

For capacity in coins, multiply by 5.

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

Dartenian says, "I don't wanna say how much, but let's just say even "none" can be a substantial penalty to evasion."
Dartenian says, "To put it in perspective, I'm fairly sure my own bard is taking about 25-30 ranks penalty to evasion just from burden, and he has none too."

Changes

There are no racial bonuses or penalties anymore.

Acknowledgements

Formula figured out by Hilbert.
