Encumbrance (of Items) & Load

The Encumbrance of an Item is the awkwardness of the combined size and material of goods.

Encumbrance Capacity (EC): The maximum Encumbrance you can carry without it affecting your activity. A character without measurable Encumbrance CAN be Unfettered if they meet all other requirements.

All items they use must match the character’s Size (Factor). If not, worn items cannot be worn effectively at all, held items increase by +1 ENC per category greater. If you do not meet the minimum attribute rating for an item = +1 encumbrance per condition unmet.
