Athletics and character speed comparison

[Ronin]

You basically move so slow, that it matters less.

[Teeth]

But does it reduce the weight penalty to movement?

It doesn't.

Are you sure str doesnt affect movement in any way. I need this information 100% confirmed so we dont need to setup our experiments again.

[Butan]

This confirms what I though : its almost useless to have ATH when you wear really heavy items.


Still, it is mitigated by acceleration like Teeth said, which is very very important if you ever want to change the course of your character in a fight.

If you want to test it, have two guys run in heavy plate. One with just enough strength to wear it and a second character with same equipment and every point in strength. Same 3 agi and 0 ath for both of course.

If they run at the same speed, str has no effect.

While i agree with you (with no valid data, but my own experience), i am not willing to make such a bold conclusion before we finish experimenting.
Stay tuned, cus new experiments are gonna happen in a day or 2 (as soon as i return to my own pc...)

speed is everything; in the universe, on earth and in every single game you play now and in future.
