jmsteven, I agree, they do seem a bit unrealistic; though it doesn't bother me.
As a young pup, I used to hike the Cascade mountains with a 70 pound pack plus clothing = 85 pounds total. We'd drop packs and wade the lakes to fish for an hour, then pick up packs and schlog onward (and usually upward, it seemed, and often in that good old Washington rain). I like to imagine that the IWD characters with STR=CON=18 could have buried me in such hikes, and that their scout would give them enough time to ditch encumbrances before a fight; so for the fantasy world I have created it's not TOO far-fetched.
