We measure weight in broad terms. Characters have a \textit{weight rating} equal to their \gls{hp}, so elves tend to have 5, while humans tend to have a weight rating of 7. Items work similarly, with weight ratings between -4 (for very light items) and +11 (for wardrobes, carts, and boulders).
If an item's weight rating is equal or below your character's Strength, you can lift it easily. However, if the items has a greater weight rating than your Strength Bonus, you gain a point of Encumbrance for every increment that item is above your Strength Bonus. Encumbrance slows you down and makes you tired, detracting from your Speed Bonus, and adding to your Fatigue each Scene.
Characters can carry items with a maximum weight rating of their Strength Bonus plus 6, so a man with 7 \gls{hp} could only be carried with a Strength Bonus of +1 or greater. Depending upon the circumstances, the \gls{gm} may allow heavier objects to be dragged or rolled.

Meldon the elf has 5 HP. He takes 3 HP Damage and already has 3 Fatigue Points leaving him with a -1 penalty to all actions. He then transforms himself into a bird, lowering to 2 HP. He now has zero Damage but retains his -1 penalty due to Fatigue. After flying away to safety he rests for a while and heals all his Fatigue Points, but when he turns back into an elf all his old wound reappear as his HP increases to the point where they can affect him.

\spelllevel
\spell{Polymorph}{Continuous}{Medicine}
The basic polymorph spell allows someone to turn into another race, so long as the racial difference in Strength is not greater than the spell's level. When cast at first level, gnolls can turn into humans, humans can turn into dwarves, dwarves can turn into elves, and elves can turn into gnomes. Once the change has applied, the original racial Bonuses are discarded, and the new racial bonuses applied. Gnomes who turn into elves gain +1 Strength and +1 Speed, and dwarves who turn into gnolls gain +1 Strength, +1 Speed, but -1 Dexterity.

Various enhancements allow the spell to be cast at a higher level, meaning a skilled Polymorphing gnome could eventually learn to turn into a gnoll.
Changing one's own form is \gls{tn} 7, while changing another's is \gls{tn} 10.
Polymorphing into another race does not grant any of its racial abilities. Changing one's shape to look like an elf will not grant cold-immunity, and polymorphing into a human will not allow one walk long distances without fatigue.
