Re: [LT] No More Nerf Armor

Alternatively, use the weapon's full weight (3 lb, which includes a 1 lb sheath) which in this case means MinST 13. Either way, a fellow with ST 10 is going to be struggling to keep his attacks on target and is going to tire out rather quickly. *LTC2 establishes that *n to MinST results in *n^2 to weight. EDIT: If you're wearing the same armor on your hands as your arms, using 1/3 total weight should be close enough. For two-handed weapons, rather than using the weight of armor on both arms, just use whichever arm is heavier (otherwise you'll end up with some weapons that require more strength to use with two arms than one, which makes no sense). EDIT2: Found Dan's post. That implies my DR 6 harness would probably have DR 3 or so on the arms/hands, meaning 2 lb on the arm, 0.4 on the hand, effective weapon weight +0.7. That is, at worst, MinST 12 (MinST 11 if we use 3 lb, which we probably should, as a 2-lb weapon should probably only be MinST 8). Last edited by Varyon; 11-06-2013 at 12:45 PM. |
