Encumbrance

Your encumbrance is determined by how much weight your character is carrying and may be checked via the encumbrance command. 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.
