[QUOTE="Skylark, post: 3278339, member: 48851"] Hi guys, Remember you figure out your encumberance value as follows: 10 + Str modifier +2 if Str is Prime +2 if Con is prime. If you carry more than this number in EV then you suffer a bit. NONE up to x1 EV no penalty. LIGHT up to x2 EV 3/4 move +1 DC on all Dex checks MODERATE up to x3 EV 1/2 move +2 DC "" "" HEAVY up to x4 EV 1/4 move +4 DC "" "" OVERBURDENED up to x5 EV 1' move auto fail on all Dex checks The total EV of anything properly carried in a container (like a backpack) is reduced by 3. The EV of anything worn is reduced by 1. A backpack has an EV of 2w and a Capacity of 8. When worn it has only 1 EV then. It can carry up to 8 EV of items inside, about as much as 1 days supply of firewood. The 8EV counds as only 5 EV (3 less) when worn on the back. So a full backpack carries 8 EV of items, but has a total EV of 5+1 = 6 EV. If you are in decent shape, and can carry an ENC of 10, that means you can carry a full backpack, clothes, and a small weapon without being encumbered. A bit more, and you are lightly encumbered. Now you wear a full backpack, carry a sword, and wear boots, heavy pants, and a cloak, and see how you would compare to someone clad only in a jogging suit. Any difference? Do you run quite as fast? Lightly ENC is normal for someone carrying stuff. Make sure to drop your backpack at the right time! If you were to be moderately encumbered, and were Str 10 with no prime adjustments, that would include a full pack (EV 6), a steel breastplate (2), a normal helmet (0), a battle axe (3), a dagger (1), a short bow (3), a belt pouch (1), and a small steel shield (2) and 50' of silk rope (2) over his shoulder would be almost Moderately Encumbered. One more item will put him at Moderate. [/QUOTE]
