Encumbrance

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.
Note: Beards and mustaches do add your burden level
(INT above is the INTEGER function. IE INT(3.9) = 3)

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.
