[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 3735481, member: 20805"] Hadn't considered the movement :( Looking over the table and running some numbers.. its hard to get the numbers to work out. WoTC used a increasing graduation on their weight totals. However, using the following formula works as is for the stats below 21: Heavy load = Str Score + Str Bonus in stone. Run at X3 Medium load would be half the heavy load and would reduce movement by 10' for every portion of 30' the character has. {in keeping with no tables :) }. Run at X4 Beyond 21 it gets harder to scale, but given the weights of stuff I don't see any problem with a Str 29 character's heavy load weighing in at only 560 pounds instead of 1,400... especially since this scale is for a Medium creature. 38 Stones would be a medium load for a Large critter with this strength. Regarding the Str penalty, I don't think its a bad thing to have a penalty to Climb due to a low Str score. In my above, a Str 8 Gent would have a penalty of -5. This would overlap with other armor check penalties. Of course, you could simply use the Str bonus as I did with the heavy load formula above. [/QUOTE]
