[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5936372, member: 54846"] Personally I'd handle it one of a few ways. 1) The heavy armor character has to position himself at a certain location and [I]wait[/I]. The party picks where they will fight if they have to fight, and position the fighter/paladin there. Or, the character is in a certain location, and when the fight starts, he runs in from this location. Either repelling from outside in (like SWAT) or he could sneak in unarmored with his suit in a bag, gear up in a closet and wait. Yes, this means splitting the party, but worse, it means the heavy armor guy is forced to sit on his hands for a while. 2) Infiltration. Maybe the character is a Changeling. Maybe he has armor that can change its appearance, so it looks like whatever armor the guards are wearing. His job is to blend in with the guards, so his heavy armor doesn't look out of place, and wait (see #1). This could work for a heavy armor guy with high social skills (conning guards, eavesdropping/getting info out of them). 3) Magic. I know there's a specific magical suit of armor that lets you summon it to you, fully donned. I know there's another type of magical armor that changes to look like normal clothes. So the guy just has "concealed heavy armor" and whips it out when the fight starts. [/QUOTE]
