Ars Mysteriorum Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) OK, there's a part of Density Control I'm not understanding. The text states: [...]Increased density temporarily increases your character’s damage bonus and hit points, though it lowers his or her movement rate by 2 meters per round.[...] No increment is listed, though. 2 meters per level? 2 meters flat? Then the example shows a character who increases his SIZ by 20 using level 20 density control. [...]As such, White Dwarf is only able to walk 5 meters per combat round, or 20 meters running.[...] So, is it 2 meters every 4 levels? Or is movement halved? Or is it something else?

Harvey Walters Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 OK, there's a part of Density Control I'm not understanding.

So, is it 2 meters every 4 levels? Or is movement halved? Or is it something else? The original BRP rules from Worlds of Wonder gave humans a base movement rate of 24 meters per round. Superworld 1E does define Density as decreasing movement rate by 2 meters per level. At Density 12+ you really are a brick.

The example doesn't illustrate this concept from WoW. Quote "Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal..." - H.P.

King of Old School Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The math doesn't add up. Suggestion: Since the armor bonus is applied every 10 levels, apply the movement penalty for every 10 levels as well; so, a character using Density Control 20 would have her combat movement reduced from 10 units/round to 6 units/round.

Nightshade Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I personally prefered the Superworld 2e solution, which was just to link together Super-Strength, Super-Size (only as mass) and Protection and call it good (there was a table if your Size exceeded your strength, but if they kept up it didn't slow you down at all).
