Re: Orcs as player characters - Dwarf
Consider: currently a Dwarf’s MA is 10.
• Cloth MA = 10;
• Leather MA = 8;
• Chainmail (& onward) = 6
Consider: The proposed - A Dwarf’s MA is now 8.
• Cloth MA = 8;
• Leather MA = 6;
• Chainmail (& onward) = 4
I know that there isn’t anymore Great Strength in the MA department. (Armor 4 Aug: Changed to remove the ability to wear armor lightly at great strength. Largely a balance issue, backed up by comments from big guys in armor - "it's still a pain.")
But a dwarf in chain at MA=4 seems a bit unplayable. If you do reduce Dwarf MA to 8, please allow the dwarf’s double carrying capacity to keep dwarfs with chainmail (or more) to maintain MA = 6
That, for me, is more important than Racial +1 damage with ax/mace.
Or make the Dwarven MA = 9 instead of the 8 proposed and don’t use the ‘double load’ request.
