How fast can an armored dwarf sprint?
Let's say you've got a regular dwarf with 20ft move speed.
But he's some anti-optimizing fool who took the run feat, so that he can run x5 speed.
And then he even more foolishly puts himself in the heaviest armor he can wear.
Dwarf's (Slow and Steady) trait says "but their speed is never modified by armor."
So, clearly the modification to how quickly he can run due to armor is nulled by the trait, and he can run 100 ft.
Or, he can only run 80 ft because while the speed is not modified, it says nothing about running's multiplier, which is dependent on armor status. So the speed is unmodified at 20. But running is modified.

Re: How fast can an armored dwarf sprint?
I say it's 100 feet - dwarves are natural sprinters, after all. Very dangerous over short distances.

Re: How fast can an armored dwarf sprint?
I'd say 5x, because what the Run feat does (while it doesn't say so in so many words) is increase your run speed multiplier by 1. It still does that for everyone else in heavy armor, so I don't see why it wouldn't do so for a dwarf.
The only exception to this (given that you mentioned "the heaviest armor he can wear") would be Mountain Plate (RoS p.157) as you can't run in it, and it specifies "a dwarf’s speed is reduced as if he were not a dwarf".
