Your encumbrance rating represents how much you are wearing, and affects you as follows, colour-coded the same as the ‘encumbrance’ stat in your score:
| Encumbrance | Encumbrance level | Speed modifier | Feet combat table | Colour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Less than or equal to your Brawn | Unencumbered | +5 | Access to all feet techniques | CYAN |
| More than your Brawn | Light | +3 | Lose access to acrobatic techniques | BLUE |
| More than two times your Brawn | Medium | No modifier | Lose access to run and most kick techniques | MAGENTA |
| More than three times your Brawn | Heavy | -5 (or half, whichever is better) | Can no longer jog, kick, or jump | RED |
Your encumbrance is also subtracted from your Defence rating for your feet, and affects how quickly your locations can recover from preventing an attack. Note that Encumbrance 25+ means you’re always at least lightly encumbered, and 50+ means you’re always at least at medium encumbrance, regardless of Brawn.
