High enchanted armors, armors with a high base defense, plate mails and heavy weight plates could be capped in speed.

But there aren't mage robes, leather for the movement mage and low weight chainmail /scalemails for the semi plated battle mage.

In fact a gale armor or plate mail of power doesn't cap the speed, while a light golden chainmail or even super light body armor caps a insane amount.

Not only that it hardly makes sense, it also kind of completely defeats the purpose.

Yeah, heavier armors need to have a speed cap, so warriors aren't outrunning mages, or even thieves.

This is actually an interesting point of view, considering our recent revision to the speed caps.

My apologizes for a unconfirmed statement, if this is already something in work. I just compared a few armors that I possess myself.

Mainly I compared the two most used "warrior" plate mails, heavy weighted, heavy plated armors, with armors that logically wise should be more something for a mage.

A gale armor and a plate mail of power both dont give a speed cap at all, but a golden chain mail, silver chainmail cuts of nearly half of speed.

Not only that mages cant cast in heavy armors, they also dont have another body armor part to hang on. It is just a empty slot to mages unless it is a electricity chainmail of leucetious. The fact, that even a puny leather could enchanted into some high defense armor, should result in a speed decrease, depending on the level of enchantement aswell as the base defense and the sort of armor, rather than random as it seems currently.

Or no base AC, so it cant be increased, but the option to chose of a few different stats on mage related gear. A stylish robe, with a few recolors if necessary giving some mage related add each on its own with varietys. Or even leather and alike for the thiefes.
