Described as above.
Currently armours are so rare, and most can be ignored, but chainmails and leathers seem to be sorely lacking. I suggest adding a few +1 chainmails.
Thanks
Is this sarcasm because there are more leather and chain armors than anything else
Need more Banded mail
+1 AC 4/4 is a very frequent drop from hero loot tables.
Chain shirts are reasonably common. What about Chainmail? I think that's reasonably common? Breastplate use to be common for wildlings.
Not sure about Banded mail and half plate?
Most players go straight for optimal armours though. So halfplate has always been a stepping stone for fullplate and Banded mail has always been the reject. Chainmail for bards. Breastplate for Barbarians. Chain shirt use to be a big reject until people started getting more creative with their character builds.
The number of +1 chainmails in the module is extremely lacking compared to previous settings and indeed compared to the superior +1 chainshirt. There are two total on high end quests (If there are more, their drop rate is absurdly low or not working correctly). One of those grants 10% vulnerability in a physical stat and the other is on a quest done very infrequently due to it's difficulty.
Edit: Also chainshirt +1 is one of the best armors in game <_<
I agree with this in the form of more variants. Maybe add some of the overcoat model on some drop forms of leather and chain armor? Would be nice to see!
The couple of +1 chainmail options are kept rare for balance reasons. But there are a ton of magical chainmails out there for Barbarians. If you are not barb and want a magic chainmail you are going to have to do the harder quests. Magic chainmail is very nice for many powerbuilds and should remain hard to get.
That's not correct pup. Most power builds will use chainshirts over chain mails 100%. Chain mail really only has purpose for a barb otherwise it's thematic. Probably the reason why chain mails are barb only, but cripples the rest of us who want to use chain mail and aren't barb.
Am I imagining things or isn't Chainmail a classic Bard armour with -arcane spell failure varieties? Some in EFU?
Most wear chai shirts or cloth. You get more ac with grace and tumble from it. My ranger is currently wearing the -arcane failure chain mail though. Pretty useless.
I sort of feel like there's some misunderstanding through this thread.
For the sake of clarity:
Cloth: 0/-
Padded: 1/8
Leather: 2/6
Studded/hide: 3/4
Scale/ChainSHIRT: 4/4
Breastplate/ChainMAIL: 5/2
Splint/Banded: 6/1
Half: 7/1
Full: 8/1
There are two chains and they are not interchangeable. :)
