>>Hello,

>>With the recent changes to the experience system we felt it time to review the racial encumbrance mods and adjust them.

>>As of today the racial mod no longer exists and the total weight a character can carry is strictly dependent upon the strength and stamina statistics.

>>Gor'Togs, S'Kra, and Kaldars will likely notice a decline in the total amount they can carry. All other races are either unchanged or will notice they can carry a bit more.

>>One of the key arguments for the racial modifier was in part due to the experience system. The "strong" races tended to have "poor mentals" and by way of the encumbrance mods we supplemented bonuses elsewhere. With the experience updates everyone is on a more even footing and we felt the same should be done with encumbrance as well. Now everything is strictly statistic based.

>>Thanks.

Anyone feeling less burdened?

H

>>I was feeling more burden that normal. And given my strength and stamina, I had thought I would feel less. At one point I was tottering under the weight.
That is odd. Just today, I had my little gnome trader buying all kinds of very heavy weapons from a merchant in Plat, and when I last checked she was still unencumbered.

Hmm- I had better keep a sharp eye on that.
