Community Errata: Movement rates for Jump, Swim etc.

[Unclebaby]

CFI actually explains a lot of what MI omits.

Those rules can be placed in Community Errata - or just pasted in?

From the CFI Issue...

See the Situational Movement Rates in CFI.

Climbing: Worn armor hinders climbers, with each location covered by light armor counting as 1 additional 'Thing' carried, and each location covered by heavy armor counting as 2 additional 'Things' carried.

Jumping: Reduce the jump distance in feet by half the total 'Things' carried. Worn armor hinders jumpers, with each location covered by light armor counting as 1 'Thing' in the beforementioned calculation, and heavy armor counts as 2 'Things.'

Swimming: Under normal conditions a character's maximum swimming speed per Round is equal to their Movement Rate, -1 for each 'Thing' carried more than the character's STR. Worn armor hinders swimmers, with each location covered by light armor counting as 1 additional 'Thing' carried, and each location covered by heavy armor counting as 2 additional 'Things' carried. If total ENC reduces swim distance to 0 or less, the character automatically begins drowning (see Asphyxiation).

Additionally, Loz suggested the following for Climb in the TDM forum...

10:20 PM - March 4th Good spot - this is indeed a hold-over from the core rules.

To keep things absolutely simple, I'd use the following chart:

Total AP Worn	Load Category	Penalty to Movement
0-7	None	0
8-15	Light	-1
16-23	Medium	-2
24-31	Heavy	-3
32-39	Formidable	-4
40+	Herculean	-5

There should always be a chance of climbing in even in full armour.
