Encumbrance

Encumbrance is Dragon's Dogma is a measure of how much a character is carrying, and the effect on the character's mobility.

Overview
For a give character there are five levels of encumbrance, each corresponding to a range of carried weights (including weapons and armor). Exceeding the highest encumbrance level results in the character being overencumbered, which greatly reduces movement speed, and prevents any more objects being picked up.

The five levels are Very Light, Light , Average , Heavy , and Very Heavy. Exceeding the very heavy limited results in the character being Overencumbered.

The actual ranges of carryable weight for each encumbrance depend on the character's size, and specifically Character Weight, with five size classes defined from very small (SS) to very large (LL). The ranges are : Under 50kg SS ; 50-69kg S ; 70-89kg M ; 90-109kg L ; 110kg or greater LL.
