Main / Game Mechanics / Encumbered


Encumbered is a state the player enters when carrying too much weight, which will slow down the player anywhere from a small amount to bringing the player to a crawl.

Calculating

The maximum weight a character can carry is 7 * body strength.

The integer part of body strength (e.g. 25 if 25.62) also determines how much a player can carry before starting to move slower.

  • Above 2*strength weight, speed drops to 3/4 of normal
  • Above 3.5*strength weight, it drops to 1/4
  • Above 7*strength weight, speed is only 1/20

For example, the key values for 25.62 strength would be 50 kg, 87.5 kg and 175 kg, and the maximum possible load would be 179.34 kg.
