Belt of Kai
|
A Belt of Kai is a rare item that is capable of reducing the encumbrance of the wearer by 4 "levels". This means a race like Giantman gets more benefit than that of a Burghal gnome. This effect occurs as soon as one wears the belt. It is similar to lightening armor by a significant amount in that there is no charges, or magic item use in order to use.

Additional InformationDescriptionBelts of Kai have taken on a standard appearance when acquired at high end auction events: a wide mithril belt The belt is made of tiny mithril links with a clasp engraved with the Symbol of Kai. There seem to be fine strands of metal, veniom by the looks of them, woven between the links. TestingTested on a Half-Elf with STR 104 (bonus 27) and CON 100 (bonus 25), using silver coins as a weight baseline (no items, no armor, then repeated with armor worn).
The belt consistently added 10,258 coins (~64.1 lbs, at 160 coins per 1 pound) of carrying capacity regardless of whether armor was worn, confirming it is a flat bonus.
Body weight is 251 pounds (Base 82⅓ + (104+100) × 0.8233). The 64.1 lb bonus represents about 25.5% of body weight, which corresponds to moving approximately 2-3 encumbrance message tiers. A heavier character, such as a Human, Half-Krolvin, or Giantman, would have even more benefit. Additionally, the benefit scales with STR and CON, so as a character equips enhancive items or gains these statistics through the Ascension system, the benefit of the belt also increases. Very roughly, the benefit seems to be about 1 pound additional weight without encumbrance per 1 STR or CON base (this was not fully tested). |
