Thinking about creating a spell called “Encumber” and play it with that mechanic. How do you think?

@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford Thinking about creating a spell for my wizard called "Encumber" and have it play with that mechanic. How do you think it should work? Just spit-balling here. #DnD #dnd5e pic.twitter.com/UIkpDkZ4aD

Personally, would avoid directly using encumbrance rules. IMC, I’d go with Str save or be restrained, requires Str check as an action to break free.
