Make a heavy backpack slow you down and decide what to drop
Carrying a lot should cost you in a fight, but a smooth slowdown is hard to read and a hard limit feels like a wall. This entry shows load steps that players can understand, what happens when the pack is too full to run, and how to suggest what to throw away.
Why this works
People judge a burden by what they can see and name. A few clear steps give a warning before the cost arrives and let a player plan around it, while a smooth slope hides the moment things got worse and feels like a mystery.
When not to use it
Skip it when carrying is not meant to be a puzzle, such as a game about speed or a quick arcade fight: there the slowdown only nags. Give the player a bigger bag, or let weight matter only outside battle.
