No longer can you swim in heavy plate; now your armour, equipment, or carried items drag you down while swimming. Options exist for formulas
|
|
based on equipped armour weight class, total equipment weight, or encumbrance percentage.

## Formulas ##
|
|
|
|
**Equipped armour** (*Default option*): the armour class of each equipped item (+1 so Light armour is affected as well,
|
|
so Light = 1, Medium = 2, Heavy = 3) is added up for a value of 0 - 27 then multiplied by a tenth of the down-pull multiplier (See MCM).
|
|
|
|
**Total Equipment Weight**: the weight of each equipped item is added up, the total doubled, then multiplied by a hundredth of the down-pull multiplier.
|
|
|
|
**Encumbrance Percentage**: the actor's encumbrance percentage (carrying 120 of 300 = 40% or 0.4) is multiplied by triple the down-pull multiplier.
|
|
|
|
The default down-pull multiplier value of 100 acts somewhat the same across all formulas. Encumbrance is a bit different, as while it's possible,
|
|
and quite easy, to have values of 0 for equipped armour and total equipment weight, the same cannot be said of encumbrance. It also can
|
|
vary greatly from character to character, while armour class and weight are static across the board. For a happy medium between the frustration
|
|
of realism and frustration-free video game-ness, I recommend the default values, and not wearing heavy armour whilst swimming, but the options
|
|
are there for those who desire them.
