Re: Moving spell casters

["Kris Ames" <kris@cioe.com>]

I agree lets do the move through skill as a subskill of the weapon
skill.  Either as an extra 10' movement per die or as a 2d6 skill
check to move up to 1/2 movement.  Either way is fine with me, but I
defiantly like the dice pool splitting idea as well (i.e. can make a
4d6 weapon skill check an then use 2 dice for move through and 2
dice for multi).
