TFT:ITL Page 35; under: Weight Carried states:

"...2 to 3 times ST: MA reduced to 8. 3 to 4 times ST: MA reduced to 6. DX -1. 4 to 5 times ST: MA reduced to 4. DX -2. Note that these speeds refer to running (i.e., combat) speeds. All figures walking normally through the labyrinth are assumed to have a MA of 3."

*IF* those MA reduction values are based on the assumption of a figure with an MA of 10 - BUT, all figures do not have an MA of 10 - would it not be more accurate to write that as: "2 to 3 times ST: MA reduced by 2. 3 to 4 times ST: MA reduced by 4. DX -1. 4 to 5 times ST: MA reduced by 6. DX -2." ?

If not, a figure with an MA higher than 10 - such as a human figure with the running talent which "adds to two to your MA at all times"(now at MA 12), or an Elf (natural MA of 12) - or an Elf with the running talent (now at MA 14), will drop disproportionately in MA to that of other figures when encumbered; if read as written.

Although an experienced GM would know to add the running talent back in for a human figure - or add 2 for the elf (or 4 if he had running) - after applying the encumbrance penalty, *but would a beginning GM?*

May not be a big deal, but I am always concerned about the new, future TFT GMs.
