[Runequest] Armour weight/enc

[Andrew Larsen]

All rules systems have that tension between accurate simulation and  
ease of play. What I've always loved about RQ is that it strikes such  
a good balance between those pressures. The Fatigue rules always  
struck me as a needless movement toward simulation. They added a  
little realism without really solving any problem in the system, which  
to my mind isn't a great deal.
