I've gotten a group together and will be running my first game of LOTP in the next week or two.
(Starting with A Stranger Storm, then Tower of the Stargazer and onto Better Than Any Man...)
I've read through the online Rules & Magic, then all the Grindhouse stuff and am now reading that version of the Rules & Magic. I'm hoping someone could clear up something that's confusing me:
p. 10
"The Specialist must be unencumbered to use any of the class abilities that involve movement..."
p. 30, under "Climbing"
"Characters (except Specialists) must be unencumbered to make this attempt."
I would assume that climbing implies movement, and that the Specialist would need to be unencumbered, but then under the climbing heading, it seems to imply the Specialist can be encumbered while climbing. Is this true?
My call would be all characters, including Specialists, would need to be unencumbered, but I want to make sure I'm not taking away one of their abilities.
Thanks!
