Pending changes to Encumbrance & Fighting

Note to all of you who have been going around at 'heavy, but manageable' or higher encumbrance and fighting.

In reviewing how encumbrance affects fighting, we realized that it provided a practically non-existent modifier to combat.  This is going to change with our next push. 

Being encumbered while fighting will now have a DRASTIC impedance on combat ability.  On the same order as being attacked by multiple enemies.

This is fair warning (and a similar message will be posted on the MOTD) that if you are running around encumbered, you will be at very poor odds of winning a fight.
