Reply with quote

Over the time I've been playing HR I've noticed one major thing: armor doesn't really protect for shit at all. Tshar is wearing heavy armor with really decent protection for most mundane attacks(slash, blunt, pierce).
Yet the armor doesn't seem to help at all in preventing damage or even absorbing it. One decent hit and he has a bleeder.

One of the major things is the 'hit rating'. Like critical, good, devestating etc. It doesn't take into account any resistances before the hit. So a devestating hit can do a shit load of damage or hardly any at all.

I think that armor in general needs to be looked at, protection and absorbtion.

Code:
>app armor
A suit of blackened steel combat armor etched with glowing runes is classified as heavy armor.
It appears to be of unbelievable quality and workmanship.
This armor provides good protection against blunt damage.
This armor provides poor protection against cold damage.
This armor provides poor protection against electrical damage.
This armor provides fairly good protection against erosion damage.
This armor provides decent protection against heat and fire damage.
This armor provides great protection against piercing damage.
This armor provides very good protection against slashing damage.
This armor provides no protection against magics.
This armor provides no protection against psionics.
It appears this armor provides protection for the entire body.
Considering your current armor in addition to a suit of blackened steel combat armor etched with glowing runes you would not be hindered by this armor.
If you were using only a suit of blackened steel combat armor etched with glowing runes you would not be hindered by this armor.
You have no idea what this is worth, but it looks mighty expensive.
Roundtime: 24 sec.


--------------

Code:
In a display of raw power, the Modan Kucho unleashes a heavy pummel at you.  Mercilessly, he lands a weak hit to your left arm as you fail to parry the attack.
You are completely dazed by the attack!

::piggybacks:: do the armor skills do more than let you wear things without hinderance? ie: i can move unhindered with 75 ranks of light armor (or whatever) in my favorite armor. what does 200 ranks get me?

You can wear it faster.

Maybe it's just Tshars armor then. Cause it should be protecting alot better than it seems to be.

I think my armor should at least protect better against cold damage.

>appr suit
A huge fuzzy penguin suit is classified as light armor.
It appears to be of abysmal quality and workmanship.
This armor provides poor protection against blunt damage.
This armor provides poor protection against cold damage.
This armor provides slight protection against electrical damage.
This armor provides no protection against erosion damage.
This armor provides bad protection against heat and fire damage.
This armor provides no protection against piercing damage.
This armor provides no protection against slashing damage.
This armor provides no protection against magics.
This armor provides no protection against psionics.
It appears this armor provides protection for the entire body.
Considering your current armor in addition to a huge fuzzy penguin suit you would not be hindered by this armor.
If you were using only a huge fuzzy penguin suit you would not be hindered by this armor.
You think a huge fuzzy penguin suit is basically worthless.

I think this is a matter of perception. If one's armor reduces damage taken by say 20%, but they take many hits or a few excessively hard hits, it stands to reason how that 20% may not be too noticable. However, it's still 20% longer you lived/had time to run.
