Regular encumbrance rules seem to have been skipped over
somewhat in the drafting of the game book. For a regular
character with no Strength Plus levels or levels of the Porter
skill you can carry up to 50 lbs. of equipment and be able to
move normally. After 50 lbs. and up to 100 lbs. you are
considered lightly encumbered and may only walk. After 100 lbs.
you are over encumbered and cannot move at all. The encumbrance
rules for the various levels of Strength Plus and the modifier
that the Porter skill gives a character are all laid out in
their respective skill descriptions.
As for the weights of items, each component weighs a pound.
This is most explicitly laid out in Armor Smith skill
description. Therefore, each suit of armor and each weapon
weigh as many pounds as they require components to construct
them. Potions, Scrolls, and Poisons weigh a negligible amount
since the components used to make them are mostly consumed in
the creation process.
These are definitely things that should be addressed at errata
since they're super basic and should therefore be easy to find
in the rules.

Thank you very much for the reply.
Now back to the original skill discussion.
The skill at max can remove 7lbs from a character it seems (
shield and long sword) possibly more if you carry back up/
multiple weapons. That is a 14% reduction for the classic sword
and board for weapons (if he doesn't have str + or does not mind
being encumbered. ) Seems like a good skill and one I would
like to see in game.

It can be really useful for larger shields. (Speaking of
shields, we need to put the rules for shield size and weight in
the book.)

I agree it is scatterd in the book for example
page 104
Shield Sized
This phrase is used to define any object that falls within the
dimensions of 500 in2. This term also applies
to any item made with the following skills:

A number of mentions have come up of 'things being brought up at
erratta' and personally I think they should be tossed up here so
they can be voted on before the 'meeting' when possible. Perhaps
a second 'thread/forum' for 'Ideas to Vote On' based on
Plot/Community thinking we have discussed them enough here.

That would be nice but the forum isn't trafficked enough for an
accurate vote.
