ENCUMBRANCE WEIGHT ENCUMBERANCE PTS

Encumbrance is a three-dimensional assessment of mass, weight, and occupied space. Basically it’s an assessment of how difficult something is to carry around. i.e. 2-foot lead pole and a 10-foot wooden pole have about the same encumbrance; the lead due mostly to weight; the wooden due mostly to the awkward length.

Encumbrance affects spell casting, and is measured in “points” for lack of a better unit.
