=== Variant: Encumbrance ===
The rules for lifting and carrying are intentionally simple. Hereis a variant if you are looking for more detailed rules fordetermining how a character is hindered by the weight of equipment.When you use this variant, ignore the Strength column of the Armortable.
If you carry weight in excess of 5 times your Strength score, youare [[SRD5:Encumbered|encumbered]], which means your speed drops by10 feet. If you carry weight in excess of 10 times your Strength score, upto your maximum carrying capacity, you are instead [[SRD5:HeavilyEncumbered|heavily encumbered]], which means your speed drops by20 feet and you have [[SRD5:Disadvantage|disadvantage]] on abilitychecks, attack rolls, and saving throws that use Strength, Dexterity,or Constitution.
