Encumbrance

Encumbrance describes the burden that characters and working animals can carry or draw, that in turn impedes how far they can progress with regards to movement and daily travel. How much can be carried determines the character's action points (AP), which are calculated by the character's strength, weight and exceptional capacity. The more that a character and mount attempts to carry, or attempts to pull in the form of a cart or wagon, or even a barge moving along a canal, the fewer AP are made available.

The determination is accomplished by using a simple excel calculator, which can be located HERE (and then opened with google sheets). Separate tabs for enable calculations for "humanoid" and "cartage," the latter expressing how much an animal or team of animals can pull or carry.
