Movement Restrictions - Damage Reduction

In my experience Rule 5B Damage Reduction of Movement hardly ever gets used. The calculations necessary slow the game down just when one can least afford to take time to deal with that distraction. Including a Table of Speed reductions may allow Rule 5B to be used without slowing the game down too much.

This table shows how many hits must be taken to reduce PMR by 1. Each multiple of this amount reduces PMR by another 1.

 Highest PMR

For those with higher HPV you may want to calculate out the amount needed (HPV/PMR) to reduce PMR before battle. It might be worthwhile having a place for this number on the character sheet.

EXAMPLE - A character with HPV of 31 and highest PMR of 3 would be slowed down by 1 each phase after taking 10 points of damage, slowed down by 2 after taking 20 points of damage and slowed down by 3 (to zero speed) after taking 30 points of damage.
