There is a note about that on the bottom of the Avernum 3 info screen, but not in Av2. In the previous version of Av2 , encumbrance actually appeared as a message during a battle (I think). Do I just guess by how much they're wearing or the weight of it? Shine Posts: 48 | Registered: Saturday, August 13 2005 07:00

If it says "When worn, you have a 4% attack penalty in combat." then wearing it will make you encumbered. The same goes for anything with an attack penalty greater than 4%. If you wearing any armour, helmet, golden pantaloons, etc, that would encumber a character with the minimum possible stats, you will be unable to cast a spell more powerful than slow without having the Natural Mage character trait. Encumbrance also affects the number of action points you get. I'm fairly certain that the attack penalty (and the action point penalty if you are encumbered enough) can be reduced with the right skills. A mage without the Natural Mage character trait will still be unable to cast anything more powerful than slow, regardless. -------------------- Microsoft Patents Ones, Zeroes (March 25, 1998) "Asians are good at Starcraft because they're always squinting, thus they can see things sharply.

(In A3, the stat that reduced encumbrance was Hardiness, but in BoA, it was Defence, so if Hardiness doesn't work then try Defence instead.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

If not, though, then you should make sure that you're not encumbered. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
