Carrying capacity is the total weight your characters can carry. If a character carries more weight then their carrying capacity they will become Encumbered Encumbered or Heavily Encumbered Heavily Encumbered.

Change carrying capacity

A characters carrying capacity is determined by their Strength with the formula: (Strength*10 + 40) (which is multiplied by 2 if using the Imperial System of Measurement). Any change in your Strength will immediately change your carrying capacity, too.

This value is then multiplied by the single highest value (ie, multiple sources do not stack; only the highest applies [making Humans effectively immune to Carrying Capacity reductions]) of the following;

Buff/Debuff Amount Source Duration
Human Versatility Human Versatility +25% Human Passive Racial feature. Permanent
Enlarged Enlarged +25% Enlarge Enlarge  Duration: 10 turns
Bigboy's Chew Toy (Whossa Large Fellow? Whossa Large Fellow?)
Elixir of the ColossusConsumables Icon.png Duration: Until Long rest
Enhance Ability: Bull's Strength +100% Bull's Strength Bull's Strength  Duration: Until Long rest
The Mighty Cloth While Equipped
Aspect of the Beast (Bear) Aspect of the Beast (Bear) +100% Wildheart Barbarian Level 6 choice. While Selected
Reduced Reduced -25% Reduce Reduce  Duration: 10 turns
Sethan (Sethan: Reduce Sethan: Reduce) Duration: 5 turns
Oil of DiminutionConsumables Icon.png Duration: 2 turns
