value of ENC

[gran_orco]

Which was the value for 1 ENC in RQ3? And for RQM?

I need this to know what can and what can not hold a player character (STR+SIZ x 2 CAR).
I have found a table of SIZ and weight, but I need weight and ENC

In other post, you told me that 1 ENC was aproximately 5 kg, but not sure.

One ENC was the rough equivalent of one metric kilogram in RQ3. Although the actual definition was: "One ENC is the equivalent of one 'thing' you are carrying."

This is not stated clearly in MRQ, but you can guess from the ENC values of weapons that it is still so. Armour, OTOH, is lighter than it should be if this equation is still true, but this reflects the fact that it is designed to be worn, not carried around.

In RQ2, 3 ENC=1 SIZ.
In RQ3 5 ENC=1 SIZ.

But, it was all a bit vague. The trick was to add up the ENC, divide by 3 or 5, add the result to the SIZ of the person and that gives an equivaslent SIZ.

So, RQ2 SIZ 12 and 15 ENC, SIZ = 12 + (15/3) = 17 but RQ3 SIZ 12 and 15 ENC, SIZ = 12 + (15/5) = 15.

That'e becasue RQ3 ENC was smaller than RQ2 ENC, so things in RQ3 had a higher ENC than in RQ2.

Mongoose RQ looks fairly similar to RQ3, most things have the same or slightly higher ENC, so I'd stick with 5 ENC=1 SIZ.

Confused? You won't be ......
