Fantasy AGE "Multiclassing" Rules

My first roleplaying was Dungeons & Dragons, and like many others, I use to spend hours creating all sorts characters. This was helped greatly by D&D's multiclassing rules (well, for 3rd edition at least). In Fantasy AGE however, there are no such rules.

At first, I found this to be a sticking point for me; I really liked mix-matching classes to create more interesting characters. I tried spending hours thinking about how to implement D&D-style multiclassing into Fantasy AGE, but I've come to accept there is no multiclassing in Fantasy AGE.

However, I also like to tinker with various aspects of the rules. And this time, I tried using Fantasy AGE's specializations as a method to produce multiclassed characters. When I was writing these specializations, I tried to keep their benefits equal to about a 6th-8th level character in the class it is trying to emulate.

Fantasy AGE - Encumbrance Rules

One of the few things that I didn't see in Fantasy AGE were rules for encumbrance. Now, like most gamers, I normally ignore tracking encumbrance in-game. However, one of my side-projects for Fantasy AGE is a set of wilderness exploration/survival rules, in which I want to include rules for encumbrance.

My goal is for a simple set of rules for encumbrance that meshes well with Fantasy AGE, but also tries to capture the idea of having to deal with a limited carrying capacity, where you must pick-and-choose which items you'd think would best help you. The rules presented here are in a very rough state, with no real descriptive text, but they should be playable. However, they also haven't been properly playtested, so just a note to anyone trying these rules.

These rules were originally written with Fantasy AGE in mind, but I do think they would work for nearly any roleplaying game. The only things that would need changing are how Encumbrance Penalties work and you would need a replacement for Ability Focuses.
