HYPERBOREA / Thief Abilities and Encumbrance

The thief description mentions only that medium armor causes a -4 penalty to some skills and heavy armor makes them impossible. Should the same limitations also apply for encumbrance?

By the book there aren't any penalties to thief abilities for encumbrance. Or if there are, I don't see them.

I would apply the same penalty to encumbered, and the same impossibility for heavily encumbered. It would apply to all the physical abilities, not the intelligence- and wisdom-based abilities.

Right. I was thinking that this should probably also apply to the "Controlled Fall" ability.
