There is always going to be some weight carried by a warrior - weapons, armor, shields - all the standard gear. And the bulkier races carry this off well, training withstanding. I however was shocked to discover that I was carrying over 100 pounds of stuff as standard. I am my own locker it seems with a seemingly good reason for carrying these items. I am barely encumbered and there seems little discernable impact on my hunting ... although I suspect my dodging is not as effective as it might otherwise be.

Well no more. I'm going to try - over the next few weeks - to shed at least 60 pounds and to only carry more than this as a transitional act - e.g. carrying boxes found.

So the question is, when was the last time you checked how much additional weight you carried?

About halfway between a crap-load and a shit-ton.

Roughly 70 pounds of that is just scrolls.

Kerl

A giantman with non-enchanced max strength and constitution bonuses can carry 146 lbs., unencumbered. The strength spell will push that up to 200 lbs. Lightening armor will add 1.33 lbs (giantman) for each pound below standard weight. With max stats, strength and 38 lb. full plate a giantman's unencumbered carrying capacity is approximately 250 lbs.

My non warrior Giantkin empath has around 100 lbs of stuff in her backpack (strength 100, of course).
