Re: [LT] No More Nerf Armor
The easiest method, since it doesn't require any actual rules changes, is to just require (ST-10) additional levels of lifting ST, which makes max human ST something like ST 15/20

Re: [LT] No More Nerf Armor
It costs no points to buy exotic traits; at most, it influences what the GM might charge an unusual background for.

Re: [LT] No More Nerf Armor
If you want full coverage, that much weight will give you DR 4 for mail, DR 3 for scale, or DR 2 for leather (if I'm not mistaken). It seems like you need to cut ST damage WAY down to make this level of DR significant. At that point, the granularity gets so course that with a little luck, joe average is routinely doing more than Conan.

Re: [LT] No More Nerf Armor
Then max human ST is 13/16. The increase in damage from ST 10 to 11 is unreasonably large.
