This is the game mechanic meaning of being very fit. Very fit has that price for this effect. If you feel the game effect does not meet your standard of Very Fit you should assign a higher price to the advantage (which is an abstract game tool with a set price for a set function) that is Very Fit.

I see your point, but nowhere under Very Fit does it say "only when wearing armor": by that reading of the rules, taking Very Fit is foolish for anyone not accustomed to wearing armor or carrying a heavy kit - an absurdity on the face of it.
For example: an unarmored Very Fit combatant facing an unarmored combatant without the advantage loses 1fp at the end of each combat (or period of a few minutes my Basic Campaigns is at another house right now, I forget how many minutes it was exactly), just like he does. This is extremely counterintuitive, to say the least. Rather than slavishly following the "round-up" rule, wouldn't it be better to simply asses the Very Fit character's penalty every other "round"?
That's not adding anything extra to the advantage, that's simply applying it
as written. The rule says "you lose FP at half the normal rate". To give a character less than that requires some explanation, I would think. I certainly don't feel the need to charge
extra to give a character what's explicitly promised in the rules.
