I just made my first set of Mabari armor and put on the chest - legs and boots. The total encumbrances to your HAM for these 3 pieces is 116 for health - 68 for action- 27 for mind.

I put them on when I was in full health - no food buffs or wounds - and checked my stats. I saw that the strength and constitution were both hit for 116 each - the quickness and stamina were both hit for 68 and the focus and willpower were both hit for 27.

I know the loses are always to the secondary HAM's. So - I am supposed to lose 116 to my "health" catagory - meaning lose a total of 116 out of the combination of my strength and constitution. What is happening is I am losing 116 from my strength and 116 from my constitution.

Start with 400 strength 400 constitution

Put on armor - now I have 284 strength 284 constitution.

This means I am losing 232 points to my HAMs not the 116 I am supposed to lose.

This is DOUBLE the amounts that are supposed to be the encumbrances for the armor. I had my husband check his bone armor and it is the same with that. No wonder everyone is complaining about armor. This is not a complaint about the stats lose or the quality of the armor - it is a comment about the fact that thePENALTIES are DOUBLED.

This is a BUG of a major kind - and needs to be FIXED!
