Encumbered

Version 0.14: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The encumbered status effect occurs when you carry more than (30*strength) aum. It causes the following effects:

• Climbing stairs takes 1 extra turn
• +1 to movement delay
• +2 hunger per action
• Stealth is halved
• Slows Unarmed Combat

To avoid being encumbered, the player should find a safe area to make a stash of items they don't need to carry around at all times.

History

The encumbered status effect (and item weight in general) will be removed in 0.15.
