Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cybit" data-source="post: 6358065" data-attributes="member: 66111">Grumpy and Omni are both right.  The only thing that dwarves get is they negate the speed penalty for wearing heavy armor.  I think intended use is that for heavy armor they are proficient in; not all heavy armor, but it says heavy armor, period.  The STR requirement for armor is so that one does not take a -10 penalty to speed.That said, since we're already using variant rules (Feats and Multiclassing), Encumbrance could be fairly brutal, as it would reduce your speed by 10 as a function of weight, not just armor penalties.   Also, by STR score, you would not actually be able to climb a vertical rope, as your STR wouldn't be good enough for your weight + armor weight. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Get that fly spell asap. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />It is known that multiclassing has the potential to break things; they tamped down on many of the abuses, but some of the other ones that were talked about being changed started making the basic concept of multi-classing into that class not work as well as complicating the game significantly, and so I think they decided to leave some of them and just make multi-classing an optional rule from the beginning.  That way, DMs know from the get-go that MC'ing might make some more powerful options.</blockquote>
