But 25 PB is too low, 28 PB is more like it IMHO.Heh. Yep. That's somewhat part of what I meant above, that balancing for 25 PB makes no sense, since most groups tend to fit that pattern, supposedly, and extremely few will actually play in the 25 PB level. Most campaigns will be more like 28 PB or even 32 PB.If the rules fail in this more common range, and only work with 25 PB, then they are badly balanced. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />But... I don't think they do, that's just hypothetical. Heavy armor is definitely not bad, even with decent stats, because they allow you to cover a weakness and thus enhance your strengths in other areas (Str/Con/Wis for a fighter). Full plates will always have their place. The real liability is medium armor, which is almost completely pointless. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />ByeThanee</blockquote>
