What's the errata on soft armor about?

It's not, but I'll try anyway. They're supposed to work on all inteligent races as well as animals, but I haven't playtested it extentially, so the formulas might not be ideal. I still think I'm on to somthing, though... What do you say?

My fategue houserules:
First calculate your str x siz and divide by 40 (= @)

Then you note the habbit rating for all your stuff:
Lvl.1 -3 months of use HR 1,5
Lvl.2 -9 months of use HR 2
Lvl.3 -2 years of use HR 2,5
Lvl.4 -5 years of use HR 3
(Lvl.5 -5 years+ of constant use HR 4)

Then you calculate the burden% seperately for all your stuff.
-Takes some time when making the character; unless he's got an equal HR on all his gear. (Must be done -you save work if the character loose somthing, sell some stuff etc.)

The formula is: (encubrance pr. item x 100) divided by (6 + HR)
Then divide this result with @ = burden%

When this is done individually for all your gear, add together the Burden% for all your stuff, and consult the table below:

Tot.Burden% Extra SRM Minus moverate
0 - 25% - -0%
26 - 50% +0.2 -10% (Round up)
51 - 75% +0.5 -20% (Round up)
76 -100% +1 -35% (Round up)
101-125% +2 -50% (Round up)
125%+ Can only -75% (Round down)
parry at 1\2%

-So as you see, in my houserules, carrying things don't make you more tired, it just makes you a bit slower both in reactiontime and actual speed (you try to sprint in full MC protection gear...), simulating that wearing stiff and heavy stuff don't make you more tired if sitting in a comfy chair wathcing football, but hinder you a bit when going out to the kitchen to get more popcorn...

The Fategue points still have it's function, and it still works just as in RQ, it's just that they allways start on your STR + CON rating regardless of how much you carry. They still tick down quicker if you're carrying loads of stuff but still wants to have a moverate of 3. (see the coloseum book on fategue expendure)
