An encumbrance rating is a penalty applied by almost all body armour and barding. This is a measure of how much the equipment gets in the way of your attacks, spellcasting, and attempts to evade enemy attacks. Multiple sources of encumbrance rating stack with each other.

In general, the heavier the equipment, the greater the encumbrance rating will be. Elven equipment has roughly half the encumbrance rating of its non-elven counterparts. You can reduce the impact of your encumbrance rating by increasing your strength or Armour skill.

History

Encumbrance ratings will be introduced in 0.13, replacing the EV penalty system.
