Encumberment affects your ability to fight and move around. It's increased by the amount and type of clothing items and gear you're currently wearing. While its negative impact can be countered with high skill and stat levels, low encumberment levels are always desired.
You can check your current encumbrance levels in your character (@) screen. Pressing the SPACEBAR and browsing the screen with the arrow keys will allow you to check the encumberment effects on specific body areas.
Torso
It affects your ability to fight in melee and swimming.
Formulas:
- Melee skill:
Hit roll *= 1 - (Torso Encumbrance/100) - Dodge skill:
Dodge Skill Lvl - Torso Encumbrance Lvl - Swimming cost:
Torso Encumbrance Lvl /10 * (80 - Swimming Skill Lvl * 3)(movement points when swimming) - Melee attack cost:
(Total) Torso Encumbrance*Weariness multiplier- adds action points cost for each melee attack
Head
It only affects how many clothing items you can put on your head: once it's encumbered, that's it. You can generally fit a wool hat under a helmet come winter: just manually put the hat on, then the helmet over top.
Eyes
It affects perception, which in turn affects how far away you can throw things and your ability to spot traps. It also affects your accuracy with ranged weapons, which along with dispersion and recoil increases the chances of missing a target.
Formulas:
- Checking traps and firing ranged weapons:
Perception Lvl - Eyes Encumbrance Lvl - Throwing items:
Perception Lvl - (Eyes Encumbrance Lvl / 2) - Ranged weapon accuracy:
deviation += 2 * Arms Encumbrance Lvl + 4 * Eyes Encumbrance Lvl
Mouth
It affects the movement cost of moving around (which you do by running).
Formulas:
- Running cost:
Running cost + (Mouth Encumbrance Lvl * 5)
Arms
It affects your accuracy with ranged weapons, which along with dispersion and recoil increases the chances of missing a target.
Formulas:
- Ranged weapon accuracy:
deviation += 2 * Arms Encumbrance Lvl + 4 * Eyes Encumbrance Lvl
Hands
It affects the time it takes you to reload a ranged weapon or tool, and your ability to throw things accurately.
Formulas:
- Reloading cost:
Reloading cost + (Hands Encumbrance Lvl * 30)(movement points) - Dexterity when throwing items:
Dexterity Lvl - Hands Encumbrance Lvl - Melee attack cost:
(Total) Hands Encumbrance*Weariness multiplier- adds action points cost for each melee attack
Legs
It affects your ability to dodge, run and swim.
Formulas:
- Running cost:
Running cost + (Legs Encumbrance Lvl / 10 ) - Swimming cost:
Legs Encumbrance Lvl * (50 - Swimming Skill Lvl * 2) - Dodge skill:
Dodge Skill Lvl - (Legs Encumbrance Lvl / 2)
Feet
It affects the movement cost of moving around (which you do by running).
Formulas:
- Running cost:
Running cost + (Feet Encumbrance Lvl / 5)
