Encumbrance reflects how much weight a character can carry in terms of equipment. It is determined by Strength though it can be altered by Fatigue.

Encumbrance Weight Limits

These are the weights at which encumbrance levels begin for each Strength score. All weights are listed in pounds (lb).

Encumbrance Levels

A character's Encumbrance level depends on the amount of weight they carry relative to their Strength. This level determines any penalties the character suffers.

Encumbrance Effects

  • Character's Move is reduced to 1. If already 1 or less, it is reduced to 0.

Modifiers to Movement are to the character's Full Move, not their Base Move. Thus, a character with Base Move 18 normally has Full Move 18. If they suffer Moderate Encumbrance, their Full Move is now 9 and, thus, their Half Move is 4. If a character is increased beyond Severe Encumbrance, they also suffer from the Total Immobility condition.
