'Better' is probably not the right word, but you do grow accustomed to what the gear lets you do, what it doesnt let you do, and what you do different to accomplish what you could do without it.And yes, a kid just out of basic is much more encumbered by his combat boots than the guy who has worn them nearly every day for 5,10 or 20 years. Those vets would think of them as 'Nike running shoes'There is also the point that the difference between Light and Heavy Armor is 4 points. At best thats a 20% advantage that falls fairly quickly to irrelevant. The penalties to heavy armor quickly outweigh any benefit, from a measly +4 AC.</blockquote>
