Encumbrance is a term used to describe the various effects of worn and carried weight on a player character or mob.
Weight Limits
Edit
Carried Weight LimitEdit
Both player characters and mobs have a limit on the total weight of items in their inventory.
Player Characters:
- $ Weight Limit (lbs) = (3.5\times Str) + Con $
Mobs:
- $ Weight Limit (lbs)= 74.0 $
Worn Weight LimitEdit
Both player characters and mobs have a limit on the total weight of items that can be equipped or worn.
Player Characters:
- $ Weight Limit (lbs) = (5\times Str) + (2.5\times Con) $
Mobs:
- $ Weight Limit (lbs) = 117.5 $
Total Weight LimitEdit
- Total Weight Limit (lbs) = Max Weight Carried + Max Weight Worn
or
- $ Total Weight Limit (lbs) = (8.5\times Str) + (3.5\times Con) $
Weight Messages TableEdit
You are carrying 0.0 lbs and wearing 0.0 lbs, peanuts.
The following messages are based on fractions of the Total Weight Limit defined above:
| Percent | Message |
|---|---|
| 0 to <20% | peanuts |
| 20% to <30% | very light |
| 30% to <40% | light |
| 40% to <50% | fairly light |
| 50% to <60% | somewhat heavy |
| 60% to <70% | heavy |
| 70% to <80% | moderately heavy |
| 80% to <90% | really heavy |
| 90% to <100% | incredibly heavy |
| 100% | maxed out |
EffectsEdit
OB, DB, and PB are all reduced by added weight, being multiplied by an encumbrance factor, before rounding, given as follows.
Offensive bonusEdit
$ OB Mult = 1 - \frac{(5\times Weight)}{(25\times MaxWeight)} $
Dodge bonusEdit
$ DB Mult = 1 - \frac{(5\times Weight)}{(8\times MaxWeight)} $
Parry bonusEdit
$ PB Mult = 1 - \frac{(5\times Weight)}{(16\times MaxWeight)} $
Movement pointsEdit
RegenEdit
Regen rates for Movement points are also reduced by the effects of encumbrance, as a function of the Total Weight Allowance mentioned above.
- Regen Rate (MVs) = $ Base Regen - \left \lfloor \frac{10\times Weight}{(8.5\times Str) + (3.5\times Con)} \right \rfloor $
- Note that $ \lfloor x\rfloor $ means the greatest integer less than or equal to $ x $.
Where BaseRegen denotes the MVs regen rate for a given position when wearing and carrying no weight.
Room MVs CostEdit
In a similar manner, when worn/carried weight equals or exceeds 80% of the Total Weight Allowance, a 1-MVs penalty is added to the MVs cost to enter any room. So, from 80% to <90%, a 2-MVs room will instead cost 3 MVs to enter. For each additional 10% weight increase, an additional 1-MV penalty is incurred.
