[QUOTE="Madfox, post: 236687, member: 1714"] And why doesn't it make sense? You are comparing a lumbering walking tin-can with a nimble fast person. Why should it be so difficult to move out of harms way for the light encumbered person? Basically your friend is stating that heavy encumbered persons should be able to keep up with light encumbred persons. That sound wrong to me. If you want to stop fast/light encumbred persons, you either are fast yourself or you make sure you have got a ranged weapon or you make sure the opponent cannot run. There is no difference in this regard between a wizard or a fighter or what ever class. Before you know it, your friend is complaining that he cannot keep up with the sorcerer/monk with expeditious retreat and spring attack ;) You will be favouring archers more through this rule. Since unlike the arcane spell caster they can take the damage and they do not loose the attack. [/QUOTE]
