Encumbrance Rules

Carrying Capacity

A character’s maximum carrying weight is determined by their Strength score.

Formula: STR × 10 = Maximum Weight (lbs.)

Notes

Rounding: Always round up when calculating thresholds (e.g., 41% counts as 70%).

Dropping Weight: A character may drop carried items as a free action to instantly reduce encumbrance.

Dragging: A character may drag 2× their maximum weight but only at 5 ft. per turn.

Party Cooperation: Two characters working together can carry/drag up to 1.5× their combined maximum.
