Armour Speed Penalties

Speed penalty by armour weight class.

Armour reduces base speed based on its weight class. The penalty is a flat reduction in feet, not a percentage. Armour speed penalties do NOT stack with encumbrance speed penalties; apply the worse of the two. Powered armour requires Power Armour Training (feat or class feature) to function properly. Without training, the servos fight the wearer's natural gait. See TBL-MOVEMENT- BY-SIZE for base speeds and spec-movement-rest section 1.3 for full rules.
