Variant: Encumbrance P176

I ask the forum if it is possible to have an API that automatically decreases the PC speed in the character sheet according  to the rule Variant: Encumbrance listed on page 176 Player Handbook? as does "ammo" for weapons. Variant: Encumbrance The rules for lifting and carrying are intentionally simple. Here is a variant if you are looking for more detailed rules for determining how a character is hindered by the weight of equipment. When you use this variant, ignore the Strength column of the Armor table in “Equipment.” If you carry weight in excess of 5 times your Strength score, you are encumbered , which means your speed drops by 10 feet. If you carry weight in excess of 10 times your Strength score, up to your maximum carrying capacity, you are instead heavily encumbered , which means your speed drops by 20 feet and you have disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws that use Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. Thank you

The heavily encoumbered part would be tricky - that would be best if players remember to apply the disadvantage as needed. But an APi could easily handle the speed change, I think.
