Title: Question about encumbrance and armor
Post by: bearer on February 29, 2004, 11:26:50 AM
Ok, does these add up to make huge blow to CP?

Example: Character with full plate and helm, totalling 3(armor)+2(helm) -5 to CP. He is allso having sword and shield, so basically hes now heavily encumbered meaning he gets -6 to CP tolalling to -11CP !! hes basically sitting duck now! or does these overleap so that only the bigger penalty remains (in this case -6 for the burden)?

Thanks beforehand =)

Hi,

The armor CP penalty already takes into account its encumbrance (that's where the penalty comes from, really) so you don't have to apply a double hit.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Brian.
