Curious Artila Lochmacher Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Ok, I have a character who has a decent dex (14), str (12) and Steel Chain armor. He is not over-burdened and even has the Fast on Feet perk. Why might he incapable of moving more than 3 spaces without haste, 5 with (no adverse spells, effects, etc)? EDIT: Avernum 2 is the game in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Is this an Exile or Avernum question? You should ask in the appropriate trilogy forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 It doesn't matter how much strength you have; heavy armor is going to encumber you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Lochmacher Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 I understand that there is a penalty (16% or so) in combat to all actions, but my other character has platemail (heavier still with a 20%) and is not penalized in such a manner... I will have to level up some more and dink around to see if I can't divine a solution (as if I needed an excuse to play). Thanks though! EDIT: Just read that hardiness might solve it with a few points. ADDTL EDIT: Well, crap . That's ok, wanted to start again anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Actually, the skill you want to put points into to reduce encumbrance is Defence, not Hardiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
