I don't think it's even possible to dump clothing a dwarf is wearing, since AFAIK your dwarves will not dump something that somebody owns, even if it's marked. As such, it would be virtually impossible to control what clothing a dwarf wears. Can anybody provide some more information on this, and if necessary, edit that section accordingly?

How "effective weight" was calculated
The means by which I calculated the effective weights are not transparent, so I'll explain it here. (If you want to check my math, by all means, do.)
In most cases, effective weight is just the total weight of equipment (armor, clothes, weapon (if any)). I only applied armor user reductions to armor and clothes, not to shield, weapon, or ammunition (or quivers, since they weigh so little anyway).
I haven't actually tested the calculations, so if someone wants to fire up adventurer mode and see if it all checks out, that would be great. I created the original speed page on the old wiki from adventurer-mode testing, but I don't know if everything's up-to-date in the current article.--Maximus 02:53, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
Clothing
I don't think it's even possible to dump clothing a dwarf is wearing, since AFAIK your dwarves will not dump something that somebody owns, even if it's marked. As such, it would be virtually impossible to control what clothing a dwarf wears. Can anybody provide some more information on this, and if necessary, edit that section accordingly?
