Acording to a blacksmith that makes full plate armor, you can do anything in full plate that you can do without (perhaps exept pissing, etc.).
The critical factor in all armor is temperature, but even bambersons, (Linen padded with "sossages" of horsetailhair) is hot as hell! (I know, because I fight in one.) You allso slow a bit down, due to the extra mass you're moving, try to imagine a fight between two dudes in full plate and a hellebard each as a "Robin Hood vs. Little John" at 70% speed.

My system only slows things down when buying armor and during character creation. I've introduced 27 hit locations (!) and 3 armour values for each... -But once this is done, the game flows as normal speed (just a bit more figures to keep track on)

I don't. I thought the critical impale -stuff , to be too lethal, and, 

for instance, only retain the "extra d6 dam. for pulling out an impaled weapon" for arrows with fishbonestyle \ tridents.
