The bean: Wow a unique charm... We could extend it to..say the charm of nobility..like with the charm n your weapon/armour you gain a say 20 rep bonus or something.
Touching on the walk/run idea.
What if your speed depends on the amount of armour you wear?
So if you wear under say 400 lbs you can outrun all enemies. If its between 400-650 your speed is slowed by 1/3. If you wear over 650...your speed is cut by a further 1/3 and hence you cant outrun your enemies.
To make the idea more complex..the theives/assassins should be able to invest in a speed skill..i.e this will make you run faster(but not decrease recuperation time)
