The Armorer Artificer’s Arcane Armor feature says:
If the armor normally has a Strength requirement, the arcane armor lacks this requirement for you.
This is in reference to the following regarding certain heavy armors:
If the Armor table shows "Str 13" or "Str 15" in the Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces the wearer’s speed by 10 feet unless the wearer has a Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score. [PHB, pg 144]
However, the Encumbrance variant says, in part:
When you use this variant, ignore the Strength column of the Armor table in chapter 5.
If you carry weight in excess of 5 times your Strength score, you are encumbered, which means your speed drops by 10 feet. [PHB, pg 176]
Is there guidance for how to apply the Arcane Armor feature at a table that uses the Encumbrance variant?
