Balazar travel

[Stephen L]

So I’ve had a look at the movement rules presented in Griffin Mountain, and cross checked against the distance travelled in the Core Rules, and come up with the following table:

	Balazar Movement Table
	Terrain	Travel	(move 8 walking)		(move 5 walking)
	Type	km/day	miles/day	Hex/day	km/day	miles/day	Hex/day
	Clear	16	10	2	10	6	1.2
	Hills	10	6.25	1.25	6.25	4	0.8
	Mountains	4	2.5	0.5	2.5	1.5	0.3
	Forest	10	6.25	1.25	6.25	4	0.8
	River (crossing)	-3
	Along path	x2
	Searching	x1/2
	Pursuit	x2
	Mounted	x1 1/2

(River crossing is a penalty to km/day)

Given a Balazaring campaign, the adventurers aren’t in general, weary very heavy armour, so I’m not too worried about journeying in armour.  But, I wonder what other people do for the dos and don’ts of wearing armour on the trail… Reduce the distance travelled? Ride rolls (Con rolls for those on foot) otherwise sore – penalties applied to Agility skill rolls. Insist on wearing light armour, and what is light, 3-4 points, or half usual Enc limit? Or does that all just get in the way of the fun, and don't really worry about it. Which is probably what I’m tending towards.

As movement points are based on the slowest member of the group. For heavily armed and armoured adventurers on foot we had a -1 penalty. We always assumed that no one wore a full helmet. As most groups moved at 8 (mules and guards), it was never an issue, as most were lightly armed and armoured.
