Currently slowing down to a snail's pace because of walking on - carpet, pillows, wooden bridge, etc, is one of the factors currently screwing the agi/athletics builds.
It would make sense to me if athletics also decreased fall damage, which is also insane atm for what should be a simple combat drop turns into a life threatening experience.
Watching characters slowly go up stairs , I feel like I am in the fucking bank and getting just as pissed off.
