weight/encumbrance of armor or weapons

[namster]

does weight of armor affect running speed and how fast a knockdowned person gets up?

I suppose for weapons, the weight factors into weapon speed - and this is again affected by character's agility.

Create a new character without athletics. First, run around with no gear on, and then, buy the heaviest armor you can find and wear it.

Running speed, yes.

As for the time it takes to get up from a knockdown ... I don't believe so (but very well could be wrong).

Or try getting your athletics up to 8 and then removing all your weapons and armor. You're practically a horse with hands.

Yep. Athletics is very important to running speed. In the early game, it's probably the most important stat for survival. Have less than 3 athletics and fighting on foot is virtually suicide for a low level character.

Low athletics is what makes Zendar arena so hard.

Try equipping 4 warhammers and full black armor lolz.

Completely worthless post. Don't spam.

I doubt weapon weight affects its attack speed, seeing as all weapons have a separate speed rating. The weight might be taken into account though, when th speed rating is assigned to a weapon.

Try not to necro threads unless you have something meaningful to add to the thread.

Try not to post one worded posts/responses.  It is almost always seen as spam and spam = bad.

I made a female character with 12 Str, 12 Int, and 6 Cha, and the rest was all Agility. I cheated to get her to level thirty, just as a test, you know, and then I took off all her armor and weapons... WOW.

Besides having a GREAT body, she could run fast as a horse. Quite literally.
