Since AC now determines how well you perform stunts and manoeuvres, heavier armour is now much less desirable than it used to be. If you wear plate, you’re losing a lot of movement distance (as in the original rules) but you also have a reduced chance to perform mobility based feats and saves (this is something new)<br /><br />My feeling is that you might need to change the AC numbers to compensate for this. Also you’d need to differentiate how much of AC comes from armour and how much comes from Magic or other factors, as Bracers of AC4, for example, shouldn’t negatively affect your stunts.Chris Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936154288030276015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094204300175633504.post-32538695335937662742020-08-07T15:09:14.082-04:002020-08-07T15:09:14.082-04:00I've run an SF game largely based on this, and...I've run an SF game largely based on this, and I think some time ago I may have played a session of the original "Searchers of the Unknown," but so far haven't had the opportunity to use my version.E.T.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816067470809236388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094204300175633504.post-92022440599778258512020-08-04T05:34:16.254-04:002020-08-04T05:34:16.254-04:00This looks very interesting.

Likewise, normally lightly-armored characters who want to armor-up still have that option, but it means giving up their niche for a bit.E.T.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816067470809236388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094204300175633504.post-83814417762915793852019-08-14T10:32:55.954-04:002019-08-14T10:32:55.954-04:00Just stumbled upon this.

I've been giving a lot of thought lately to how one might remove dedicated spellcasters from the game without removing PC and - bam - there you did it! <br /><br />My only counter-thought is the bit about armour training. What does that solve/improve over SotU's system? That is, would it be so bad if your man-at-arms had the option of taking off his plate to sneak around or your Grayish Mouser could put on some heavy armour when he knew he was about to get into a melee?Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094204300175633504.post-17111290228753458682019-08-05T18:07:22.173-04:002019-08-05T18:07:22.173-04:00HP loss to magic-use should be assumed to recover ...HP loss to magic-use should be assumed to recover in full between sessions.
