[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8672272, member: 93670"] Not Quite: [spoiler="PHB144"] Heavy Armor. Heavier arm or interferes with the wearer’s ability to move quickly, stealthily, and freely. If the Armor table show s “Str 13” or “Str 15” in the Strength column for an arm or type,[B] the armor reduces the wearer’s speed by 10 feet unless the wearer has a Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score.[/B][/spoiler] Dwarf even ignores that penalty & at least one race has a speed bump that negates it. Combat in 5e is so static & unmoving that it hardly has any impact for a dex build or a strength build that isn't strength enough to wear heavy armor. Why would those builds do that?.. easy, put a nice enough nonac bonus on it after adding the associated effect to 5e, I've seen players do it with 3.x style DR & resistance once they noticed monsters tend to deal elemental damage pretty often instead of [I]just[/I] b/p/s [/QUOTE]
