[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 3752189, member: 20854"] [url=http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2786]You have[/url], although your post gave hobbits the same base move as humans. I steal from Delta too -- see my helmet musing. :) Wow, I'm impressed that you noticed that. Yes, that's exactly why I broke the pattern, there. Elves wearing heavy armor and moving around faster than identically armored humans doesn't mesh with my conception of D&D elves. It's not really that much of a nerf, though; they still move as fast as a fully-armored human, they just lose their "natural elvish speed and grace in movement." Also, magic plate mail would make the whole thing a moot point. I debated about this, but decided to go with a double-move charge and a straight 50/50 split because of its simplicity.
