(Having some debates on the fame issue... I'm considering throwing it out, now, upon later reflection.)

This is for BX.

Alright, here's the equations, in essence:

Weapons usually equate to +Strength, while reduction in the agility sub-stats. Weapon proffiency, which is not part of this job, helps balance this out.

Armor equates to +Endurance, while reduction in the agility sub-stats. Armor proffiency as well also helps balance this out, but, you need not over-concern yourself with this.

For every 50 lbs that a person carries on himself that is not his own, that's -1 agility. Whatever is additionally subtracted from agility is added onto this.

Please note: You can only wear:

1 Pair of Armor (Legs)
1 Pair of Pants
1 Shirt/Vest
1 Robe
2 Wristlets/Bracers/Armlets (Basically anything pertaining to the wrist)
2 Rings (Generally to show off wealth. It'd be weird to wear 10 rings, unless you think they should be able to...
1 Pair of Shoes
1 Helmet/Hat/Headwear
2 Add-ons while not obstructing anything else that they wear... (Can be just for style, or to allow for slight enhancements, like better manuverability in hot weather, minor statistical bonuses, etc.)
1 Pair of Earings (Character must get piercings first)
2 Carry On Weapons +1 Main weapon (Ex., Sword, Bow and Quiver; Spear, one knife (spear accounts for 2 weapons); Bow, quiver, sword; three swords; etc.

Please note that there is a difference between military equipment and non-military equipment, military equipment generally proving to be more effective at more cost-effective gold. Also note that military equipment can be equipped not only on generic units, but PC's as well that join an army, given they can afford it, or are equipped with it.

*Clap Clap*

Bravo. Very well done, it looks good.

[Genocide]

I think two hundred pounds for just a breast plate made out of nothing more than Iron and Hardened Leather, perhaps Lamellar, is a bit excessive (Body-Guard Chest Plate). I think 85 - 100 would be more realistic. If that seems to throw off the balance, then perhaps you could lower the increase in endurance as well.

I don't want to nit-pick, but that's really throwing me off.

Also, when are we planning on opening, how much more work needs to be done, and how can I help speed things along?
