Carrying capacity

Carrying capacity determines how much weight the player character (PC) may carry before becoming burdened or strained by excessive load.

Calculation[]

To make calculations easier, basic carrying capacity (BC) is defined as the highest possible weight at which the character is not yet strained, i. e. only burdened.

All fractions are rounded down.

Unencumbered - 0 BC to 0.75 BC.
Burdened - 0.75 BC (+1 stone) to 1 BC.
Strained - 1 BC (+1 stone) to 1.5 BC.
Strained! - 1.5 BC (+1 stone) to 1.75 BC.
Overburdened! - 1.75 BC to 6 BC.

Should the character carry more than their Overburdened! limit, they will die of being crushed under tons of luggage. It is impossible to pick up this much weight; only a reduction in carrying capacity can trigger this effect (typically losing a temporary carrying capacity boost).

The primary attribute for calculating carrying capacity is the character's Strength. The base BC of all characters is 1000 stones, and is modified by Strength attribute:


Strength	Change	BC
1-9	-40 for each point of difference from 10	640-960
10	No change	1000
11-15	+100 for each point	1100-1500
16-20	+150 for each point	1650-2250
21-25	+225 for each point	2475-3375
26-99	+300 for each point	3675-25275
