@ Muse. Well, have fun at least, and good luck on the plane.<br/>@ Carly. I'm very serious with those things. However I'm also assuming that adventurers have the sense to ditch cumbersome things in a fight. So while the reduced AC might affect you with a trap or surprise attack, (Being flatfooted you'd lose that AC anyway) I'll just assume that during your first turn you'll use a free action to drop your backpack.<br/><br/>As for formations, I might ask in here sometimes. If people prefer a battlemat I can have one active without issue.
