Can anyone find a description for Encumbrance Capacity ? Not value, not threshold. It appears on vehicles and on mounts. It existed in Star Wars, although I can't find a description for it there either.
I have always taken it to mean, in addition to passengers. Cargo space essentially.
If you take it to mean the literal amount something can carry... A horse has a capacity of 12. A warrior with 4 Brawn has a value of 9. If they are wearing chainmail (3), they are at max capacity and can't carry a weapon or anything else for that matter.
My conclusion is that it is in addition to a rider and their immediate equipment (armour, primary weapon) . It is used for extra things that are carrying or wish to laod the horse with. To conclude anything else seems unwieldy at best.
I'm hoping I've missed the definition somewhere but I can't find it in the core, expanded player's guide or in star wars.
How have you guys handled it?
