Encumbrance

The bonus/malus for swimming is inverted, higher encumbrance makes it easier to swim and lower encumbrance makes it harder to swim.

Also, it’s impossible for hand encumbrance to be below 0. Any negative encumbrance is negated by an equivalent amount of positive encumbrance that just magically appears.

That’s new: back in 02Feb I had to strip when practicing my swimming, even when I grew a Tail Fin.

Cloth and such floats so…

so if i’m dressed enough i could fly :))))

Encumbrance as a 2-bit unsigned integer? when you get above 128 encumbrance, it wraps around! [Not really.]

I was kind of wondering about this myself, since I always wear glove liners.

Nope, you die of heat stroke.
