Encumbrance by Strength Score

Maximum carry weight (lbs) by STR score for Light, Medium, and Heavy load categories.

Encumbrance thresholds by STR score for Medium-sized creatures. Each load category imposes different penalties: Light (no penalty), Medium (-3 STR/DEX checks), Heavy (-6 STR/DEX checks, speed halved). Overload (exceeding Heavy) prevents movement entirely. Values are in pounds. Small creatures multiply by 0.75; Large creatures multiply by 1.5. See spec-movement-rest section 2 for full encumbrance rules.
