[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 292702, member: 994"] I'm probably just missing a simple table somewhere, but what's the base speed of a Half-orc Barbarian 1 in medium/heavy armor? (or with medium/heavy encumbrance since it's the same!) The armor chart on PHB 104 seems to imply that it anyone wearing medium or heavy armor (or is similarly encumbered) loses 25-33% of their base speed. Looking through the Monster Manual the only creature I can find listed whose Base Speed is affected by equipment is the Fire Giant. He's listed as 30' (chainmail); base 40' but he's also a Large creature. Would a 1st level Half-orc Barbarian wearing a breastplate have a base speed of 25' or 30'? Can you support your answer? Regardless of your answer, how far would you allow him to move in all the funky movement conditions in PHB Table 9-4: Hampered Movement where there's a movement penalty of 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4? Thanks in advance. DrSpunj [/QUOTE]
