Re: Armor shouldn't subtract from MA
Assuming it's the same in TFT as in earlier editions of GURPS, a ST 10 male human should be 5'9", 150lb.

(And in TFT, the armor DX penalties and point-buy characters tend to make the weaker ones more likely to do well in armor anyway. (Since they tend to have lower DX, and adjDX below about 9 tends to make fighters fairly hopeless.)) Probably not. |

Re: Armor shouldn't subtract from MA
Again, I know that this is an old thread, but I wanted to add what I have House Ruled for Armor & MA adjustments.
House Rules for Armor & MA If the characters are not carrying extreme and unreasonable loads, the GM is encouraged to completely ignore weight carried and base the characters’ combat or escape running speed only on armor: Cloth Armor -0 to MA Leather Armor & Chainmail armor -2 to MA Half-Plate & Full Plate armor -4 to MA Elves have a starting MA of 12, in Leather or Chainmail their MA is 10, in Half or Full Plate it is 8. (Simple!) The Running talent works in or out of armor. |

Re: Armor shouldn't subtract from MA
This goes for the adults too. When was the last time you took a PC into the game that had a disease?

Re: Armor shouldn't subtract from MA
Yep, I did write up a back story for a character a few days ago where his wife and 1 year old son had died from a disease, so he sold his farm and joined a mercenary band. (I guess that he had immunity to that strain...)
