Encumbrance

Encumbrance is a measure of how encumbered your character is with the items he or she is carrying. Generally speaking, the more items you're carrying around, the more encumbered your character will be.

When a character's encumbrance reaches 100%, they may not pick up any more items, unless that item has no encumbrance. Many small items, and some magical items, don't add anything to your encumbrance total.

Equipped items (wielded weapons or pieces of armour a character is wearing) only count at half their normal encumbrance value.

Dropping items, or storing them in residence will reduce your character's encumbrance total.
