Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thondor" data-source="post: 3690436" data-attributes="member: 31955">MightMovement:Part of my thoughts on this is that rationally someone with a really high might score in a Breastplate should be able to move as well or almost as well as a someone with low might in a Chain Shirt. I've never really liked the way movement is limited by armour - with no real way of ameliorating the drawbacks.  Nor Have i ever really understood the importance of the distinction between Medium and Heavy armour - (Does Heavy only let you run 3X while medium 4X can't remember) Sooo how could Might possibly affect this.Hmmmmm, 1. If you exceed your Might score you suffer a -5ft movement. 2. If your exceed your Might score by double your score you suffer another -5ft penalty3. If your Might score exceeds your current load by 5 you can move, penalties to your movement rate are reduced by 5ft (ie a human wearing hide can move 25ft , a halfling can mmove 20ft)huh, not sure this is quite right. And I am actually considering upping Gnome and halfling and Dwarf movement to 25ft. Another thought Fatigue -Maybe the penalty to exceeding your might score sould not occur immediately but rather after several rounds of combat -- more complicated yes. Is it worth the effort?Finally - other encumberances?If the character is fighting with 30 000 gold pieces and a backpack full of odds and ends spare armour, 10 books, a ten foot pole, bedroll, tent, 15 days of trail rations, the head of an Ogre etc. This should impede him as well. (personally I like to encourage my players to get pack animals and guards - that's what their for)I propose a simple adherance to the current system -If the Character is bearing a medium Load -1 on attacks and damage (or just one depending on what system of Might is adopted) a heavy load is -2 on attacks and Damage rolls.hmm more thoughts on these later</blockquote>
