Thank you, at least one of the answers, now, if another kind would answer no.1 it would make my day :)

OK, I'm creating an excel spreadsheet to automatically generate character sheets, but have run into a few rules that I'm not sure how to work.

1)I'm trying to determine the hit points for armor considering tiny or smaller creatures, here is the problem:

a) Creatures tiny or smaller have their armor bonus divided by 2. (page 153, "*" on table 6-8)
b) Armor hp are determined by armor bonus. (page 175, check column "hit points" on table 7-12)
c) You need to divide the hp by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium. (also page 175, "²" on table 7-12)

So... does this imply on a double hp reduction for characters tiny or smaller, due to armor bonus reduction AND rule "c" or am i missing something?

2) Trying to determine barbarian speed bonus w/ armor
a) The Barbarian Fast Movement class feature states that a barbarian’s land speed is increased +10 feet. This benefit applies when wearing medium armor. Also, to apply this bonus before modifying the barbarian’s speed because of any armor worn. (page 31)

So, a Human, w/ a land speed of 30ft., would have a base speed of 40ft. were it a barbarian. If it were to equip a medium armor, it would retain it's bonus. Now, to calculate the armor speed reduction, the rule states that bonus apply first, and i cannot find a 40ft. column on table 6-6 (page 151).

Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you in advance: )
