Bulky item effect Reduction

[Hanto]

I'm wondering if anyone has found particular techniques to reduce the effects of carrying bulky items and what the best methods might be. I've seen certain items during my first A6 game play that indicated that at least some items could be more variable in this effect then might be otherwise thought about.

I'm guessing that Strength and probably Dexterity have such an effect, and if so by what measurement could one forecast a reduction in this effect, for example to allow my mage to carry better equip?

The less chance to hit for using bulky items is offset by getting the natural mage trait that gives +20% offset and/or equipping items that give an increased chance to hit that occurs for some weapons and other items.

 

Increased strength prevents the loss of action points (AP) for going over your encumbrance limit.
