		+	=== Carrying Capacity ===
		+
		+	As a nymph, yuki-onna character's carrying capacity is not dependent on their strength or constitution. Instead, they can always carry the maximum possible weight for a creature of their size before becoming encumbered. In addition, the effective weight of all objects or stack of objects in their inventory is reduced by 5 aum per level.
