Hello, everyone!
On page 16 under Carrying Capacity, the rules state that a character is encumbered if her bulk is equal to or greater than half her strength score. On page 167 under Bulk Limits, the rules state that you can carry bulk up to half your strength without difficulty. It goes on to say that you will have the encumbered condition until the amount of bulk you carry becomes less than or equal to half your Strength score.
These seem to be contradictory statements. If my character was carrying 5 bulk and his strength was 10, would I be encumbered? Am I understanding these rules wrong?
Thanks in advance and I apologize if this has been asked before.
