You got 3 sets of armor in each category roughly. light, medium, heavy.
What about making it like this?
Heavy: Full Plate - 10% heavier
Heavy: Half-Plate - 5% heavier
Heavy: Banded Mail - same weight
Heavy: Splint Mail - same weight
or
Heavy: Full Plate - 5% heavier
Heavy: Half-Plate - same weight
Heavy: Banded Mail - 5% lighter
Heavy: Splint Mail - 5% lighter
or
Heavy: Full Plate - 20% heavier
Heavy: Half-Plate - 10% heavier
Heavy: Banded Mail - same weight
Heavy: Splint Mail - same weight
Why do this?
It would make strength and what you can wear more viable. Who does it hurt? Maybe clerics, bards, druids and others that don't have the strength but wear heavy armors and shields.
Just a suggestion.

I would go for the last one, as you said, chars will take str more into consideration.
And besides logic tells you that a ful pece of metal is heavier than chain mail.
Anyways a full plate weigh's 50, same with half-plate. So a 10% increase would only make it 55. 20% increase would make it 60. So its not a big change, but might make str alittle more viable.
ok that sounds good and yer str chars it wont matter to but people who dont use strength would use those items to get more ac and let their spells boost it up alot more so if a cleric didnt have much str he would have to wear lighter amor therefore decreasing their AC which wouldnt matter much since they have +4ac for pure clerics i think and plus also the fact they can still boost of their ac with spells
so it gives a chance for pure meeles to hack through stoneskin or whatever else they have on and kill them
and like torm said its logic
Chars: The Mad Axe King / The Dwarven Front Line (DFL) / The Dark King
Won't have a profound enough effect. Avg 34 STR human can hold 2333 lbs. Unless you changed THOSE tables.. adding weight onto heavy plate won't really affect anything but low STRers.. the high one's won't even notice.
For such a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time.
I can add an effect to increase weight from 5% to 100%. Even at 100% the full plate would be 100 encum. Could also do the shields, but thats it.
But yes, this would never effect a fighter/barb or any other str based class, but those that rely on gloves or spells to carry them loses a glove slot and getting dispelled slows them down.
Only reason for this is, once you have heavy prof, using half plate, banded or splint is useless. Especially when half-plate and full plate somehow weigh the same...
