Maneuvering in Soft Leather - why?

(1/3) > >>

Shottglazz:
Just curious if other groups EVER use this skill...I can honestly say that not one of my players in about 21 years of running Rolemaster has ever used this skill...

yammahoper:
What if your Plate encumbers as AT 8?

Ecthelion:
But other than such special armors there is hardly ever a reason to use AT 5-8.

Shottglazz:
8? We count Soft Leather as AT's 1-5, Rigid as 6-10, Chain as 13-16 and Plate as 17+.

So for us (as we take it from Arms Law), Soft Leather ends at AT5. AT5 has no penalties, thus no reason to build up skill in maneuvering.

Cormac Doyle:
Soft leather is AT 5, 6, 7 & 8 (with 7 & 8 being restricted to animals or magical armors)

AT 5 has no maneuver penalties; AT 6 requires no more than 4 ranks to negate (note that no matter how many ranks developed, you cannot eliminate the "minimum" penalties)

Rigid leather is AT 9, 10, 11 & 12 (with 11 & 12 being restricted to animals or magical armors)

Chain mail is AT 13, 14, 15 & 16

Plate Mail is AT 17, 18, 19 & 20
