This chart shows that for a ST 10 creature, light load us up to 33 pounds, and Heavy Load is up to 100 pounds (a shift of about x3). This chart goes on to show that all Strength levels have this same ratio: The maximum heavy load is about the same as Light Load x3.Since flying creatures (as I read it) are limited to Light Loads, I simply state that all carried weight while flying encumbers the flying creature at 3x its actual weight. For a ST 10 flying creature carying 15 points (a light load) is effectively carying 45 pounds, which will encumber it (effectively) as though it were carying a medium load (for the effect of slowing it down). Optionally, you can also reduce the maneuverability by one class for each level of effective encumberance as well.But that is just how I do it.</blockquote>
