Has anything been done to figure STR into encumberance when determining how
it affects skills? At present a STR 3 wimp and an STR 18 hulk each suffer
a loss of 30 ENC when wearing full plate. This doesn't seem right to me,
but then I never wore armor.
I have been using a house rule where the first STR of encumberance is free,
then consider it as stated in the draft rules. So in the above case,
the wimp feels 27 ENC of skill loss, the hulk feels only 12 ENC of loss.
This freebie ENC counts toward total ENC, not per-item. It does allow
swashbuckler types to use a rapier and ligt armor with minimal effects on
skill.
