Wait what? I thought you said somewhere in my earlier posts about leadership that it does help encumbrance, Ranger.
If I did, I was wrong.
What I stated is that skills like BL and archery that are based upon a minions strength are effected by Leadership. That is directly from Jon. And the Leadership % bonus to strength is applied after items. Not sure if it is applied after spells like EC or GS. I suspect it is after those are also as Leadership is fluid and can change round to round.
I do not think I have ever stated ENC is raised if you have more strength from Leadership.
