Well neither am I...  I am wondering if anyone has any opinions, or suggestions about barbarians speed.  Currently it's at 10%, and it can be I think in any armor, and any weight load.  In discord I thought it was suggested that the armor restriction of only light, or medium might be put in at some point in the future.

Such as perhaps not putting the restriction in, or possibly trying to increase the speed to like 15/20%.  Any other thoughts or ideas?

So I don't know the very specific details for NWN campaign speed on the pc.  I understand it's a 10% increase, and in the future it might be include armor restrictions.  I haven't seen anything about a weight restriction.

I did get a brief pdf of the 3.5 barbarian for speed.

Fast Movement (Ex): A barbarian’s land speed is faster than the norm for his race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the barbarian’s speed because of any load carried or armor worn.

Of course this is in a system where small races only have a movement of 20ft, instead of the medium creature movement of 30ft.  So a hafling barbarian could move 30ft a 50% increase, while a human could move 40 about a 33% increase.

If the speed will remain at 10%, and the armor restriction will be put in... I'd be happy not getting the higher movement speed bonus as a trade off for not getting hit with a weight restriction, unless overloaded.  I wonder if this has been brought up before, or if anyone else has an opinion on it.

I've read a lot of fantasy books, and have no problem with other humanoid races.. good, or evil.  Look at how many characters that are of the current races, that play as evil on this server, or on others.  Humans, how many have you had to kill in your years of gaming vs other races.  I've put many in shallow graves, or littered across a battlefield.  In a lot of fantasy books, there are of course occasionally humanoids that decide not to be evil.  Being a second class goblin, or kobold trying to be a hero in the world, sounds like as much fun, as trying to be a certain drow ranger.  In a group with other  "acceptable" races.  Could make for an interesting rp I think.  I'm new here, and it's 4 am.
