ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Surprisingly, you can be encumbered in the afterlife. This is slightly problematic when you aren't allowed to drop anything, and have no way of actually getting to the Eidolon to ask for a return to the physical world.

Perhaps dropped equipment could be sent to a buffer and then placed at your feet when you return to life.

I'm curious, though; how did this situation come about?

It's quite easy to do, it could've happened to me a bunch after overkitting Feather Wind, or Augmentation, or other +STR skills.

I was playing a Dwarven Doomed who went into the Deep Bellow boss fight for the first time. I picked up a shield rune lying near the boss with the intention of running upstairs and using it, the 0.1 extra weight put me over the limit -> lost two rounds instead of one -> dead.

Eidolon Plane is now a zero gravity zone, so that encumberance is nearly meaningless there (max*20)
