Encumbrance

Your encumbrance is determined by how much weight your character is carrying. The levels are, in order of least encumbered to most:

• You feel light and unburdened.
• You're not carrying much at all, and can move about without really feeling much impact from the weight.
• You're not carrying too much, you should be able to move about fairly unburdened.
• You're feeling somewhat burdened by the weight you're carrying
• You're feeling burdened by all the weight you're carrying
• You're definitely feeling the weight of all the stuff you're carrying.
• You feel heavily encumbered by all the weight you're carrying. Better find somewhere to unload.

High encumbrance can have a detrimental affect on many things, including combat and energy use.
