Prowl Penalties

Unread post by Veknironth »

Well, the wonders of the PFRPG books never cease. There is always something that you read several times and didn't realize how little sense it makes. On page 270 of the main book, on the bottom left corner, there is a bit on armor restrictions. It states that "...chain and metal armors clank, squeak, and jingling making prowling virtualy impossible. Reduce Prowl by 40 points." The next sentance states, "Emcumbrance Penalties: -15% to prowl..."

So, which is it?

Both unless you purchase noiseless, weightless armour.

Oh geez, I didn't even think about the fact that one is sound and the other is just general encumbrance. Haha, -55% to prowl. Good luck.

Which is par for the course when talking about PB gamebooks.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.
