Optional Rule: Changing Posture in Armor

For enhanced realism, you can let encumbrance level affect the time
it takes to perform a Change Posture maneuver. At encumbrance level
0 (None) or 1 (Light), Change Posture takes one second, as usual. At
level 2 (Medium), it takes two seconds to change posture – and so on.
While you are partway through a posture change, you are considered to
be in the old posture. This rule may slow play, but it can also give a real-
istic edge to lightly armored combatants.
which your velocity exceeds your
Basic Move. For instance, if you’re
moving at 23 yards/second and have
Basic Move 3, you must roll at -6.
If you fail, you lose traction and fall
or spin out of control – see Losing
Control, below.
