Hollow Knight

Add the costs printed in your equipped-charms screen and compare the total with your current notch count. If the sum exceeds capacity, Hollow Knight's community wiki describes the Knight as Overcharmed and says incoming damage is doubled. Remove or swap a charm while seated at a bench if you want to avoid that risk. The checker only totals numbers you enter; it does not inspect your game or decide whether a build is good.
