from a malus perspective, any changes to the dex/move /ASF modifiers?
They would be roughly the same. as would the Qualities as well (i.e. the ASF, Rigid, and Metal Qualities) , However, this system, instead of having a Dex Mod, would have a Max Dex, which would be equal to 6 minus the Dex Mod (+/- Kin modifier for Dex). Thus armors would affect all Kins equally, and the Kins would not lose any advantage from their stats...
Thus, since a Wood Elf gets +2 to their Dex from their Kin, where a Hman would have a Max Dex of 4 with a Chain Shirt, a Wood Elf would have a Max Dex of 6, and a HIgl Elf (with a Kin Modifier of +1) would have a Max Dex of 5 when wearing a chain shirt.
Note also, changing to Max Dex would also increase Defensive Modifiers, since it would limit the amount of Dex that could be used, as opposed to applying a modifier to it. And the Max Dex would apply to any Dex applied to skills as well.
