Is encumbrance measured in discrete levels, or do the levels that we see just give us a ballpark estimate of the real number used in encumbrance calculations?

For example, if I am somewhat encumbered, and then I drop something pretty heavy, but not heavy enough to bring me up to lightly encumbered, is this an improvement or not, from the perspective of encumbrance calculations?

(I am also interested in this question for armor hindrance. Is 151 chain better than 150 chain, assuming the hindrance appraisal doesn't change?)

If what I'm asking for is unclear, another metaphor would be GPA... maybe you get an 85 instead of an 84, but both are still a 3.0.

Oh, cool. Encumbrance photoelectric effect.

Is hindrance like that too?

Are there any descriptors in DR that aren't a range obscuring the precise level of effect? Maybe wound levels as seen by an Empath.

Yeah, bleeding severity and wound severity are only linked inasmuch as the bleeding's initial level is set based on wound severity. Various things can alter the bleeding severity while maintaining the wound severity. E.g. an unskilled tend will worsen the bleeding.
