[QUOTE="jester47, post: 714265, member: 2238"] Eighty pounds distributed over the body? You can spring up in that PDQ, especially with adrenaline. Talk to some firefighters, they will set you straight. Turnout gear with SCBA tank weighs 60. And those guys can move like the dickens. So I would think a Dwarf that has been doing all his training in 80lb stone armor would have no problem getting up in it. Especially if his highest stat is in strength. You seem to be making two assumptions here. 1) people are not that strong (but they are and dwarves are statisticly stronger) and 2) that weapons are a lot heavier than they really are. A dwarven waraxe weighs 15lbs. Which is about the same weight as a firefighters prybar (these suckers are 2 feet long and have a multipurpose head for wrenching, bashing, opening, prying etc.) So I would think from near practical experience (rather practical knowledge) that your dwarf friend is getting up A OK.
