I want the PCs to take every advantage they can and could care less that they do not take certain armor types. I found out from my experience with changing the armor rules that many armors will still not be taken by PCs (the perceived problem I was trying to solve). So, it only matters for NPCs and for NPCs, I'm not going to bother to change the rules.As for the 17.5 movement, it basically is 4 five foot hexes (or squares) for a normal move, 7 hexes for a double move, and 14 hexes for a full out run.</blockquote>
