[QUOTE="thullgrim, post: 868290, member: 8103"] Just by way of example, I currently play a 2nd level fighter, the only real fighter in the party. We are going through a conversion of the original U series modules. I started out in banded mail, for the best AC to price ratio I could manage given the beginning wealth levels. We came across, and I came away with, a suit of plate mail +1. I am now wearing it and I hate it. We just had a large fight on a boat and the whole time I prayed no one was going to attempt to knock me over the rail. It would have been an ugly occurence. Plus, my movement absolutely sucks. To top it off, its very difficult to perform some skills in the heavier armor. I think there is already great incentive to go with the lighter armors. However for an extra oomph, I think going the route of WoT is hte solution I would use. I would even keep the Armor Compatability feat they have in there. I also really liked the Feats in Dragon 301, I think combined with the WoT rules, probably a scaled back version of them to be sure, would work fairly well. Thullgrim [/QUOTE]
