Bleeding updated and rules for encumbrance added

There is an updated version of Slay & Plunder available. Here are the highlights.

• Holy symbols are now either bronze or silver.
• A penalty to AC was added to bleeding.
• Rules for encumbrance were added. See below.
• Alignment for wolves and dire wolves was changed from chaotic to neutral.

Nothing else is planned for the core rules at this time. But there is an adventure in the works and a set of companion rules planned for the future. Until then, have fun slaying and plundering!

Encumbrance

A PC slowed down by heavy gear has more difficulty evading attacks and other dangers. This effect is called “encumbrance” and results in a penalty that’s applied to AC, saves vs. breath weapons or traps, and saves vs. wands. Like movement rates, it’s based on a PC’s STR score and how much weight they carry, measured in BW.
