[Hiraku]

i'm with Azuru about this

I have to say that I wrote down my idea about pvp even because from what I understood, Taran and the shard itself follow a "most real as possible" rule generally,
so, I thought that the different use of armor types went to make the rules even more real
(a mage that cast in a full plate is pretty rare in these games in general i guess)

speaking about this properly, i wanted to reassume
for Taran (in case he would consider these changes or just put it on vote or whatever..):

NEW ARMOR TYPES:

all actual plates (to keep those)
+ high loss % of dex on dress BUT for some rare metals with medium loss % (this added in a % to each piece of armor)
+ high penalty to mana reg
+ spell flizzle

ringmail with magic resist [you'd decide if add this value to some existing type of metals, maybe because of the ease with which you lose items should be found even in monsters idk]
+ high loss % of dex on dress BUT for some rare metals with medium loss %
+ high penalty to mana reg
+ spell flizzle
+ magic resistance % (maybe each item singularly would be nice, and different % for rare metals)

ringmail
+ medium loss % of dex on dress BUT for some rare metals with light loss %
+ medium penalty to mana reg
+ spell flizzle

chainmail
+ light loss % of dex on dress BUT for some rare metals with no loss %
+ medium penalty to mana reg
+ spell flizzle
+ ability to use bow while moving

leather armor [to modify to very light levels of AC]
+ no loss % of dex on dress
+ no penalty to mana reg
+ no spell flizzle

*then a script to prevent the dress change during combact should be added

WHAT THIS MEANS

war would have
+ to add a better healing with bandages than it does right now if wearing plate, ringmail or chainmail
+ to add possibility to interrupts casting on melee hit (even wrestling)
(and they'll still have the choice of wear armors with magic res if want to be more strong vs mages but they lose a bit vs other wars)
- almost no cast with a plate, really rare cast with a ringmail or a chainmail due to the armor proprieties

mage would have
+ to add improved mana reg rate generally (so that one player can do a full combact using spells)
- very low res to weapons due to wearing leather armors
- to add possibility to be interrupted if hit melee

arcers would have
+ to add possibility to use archery while moving if dressing chainmail
+ better healing with bandages than it does right now if wearing plate, ringmail or chain mail (same as wars)


with this must be clear that i don't want do the job of the staff here, these are just ideas i had and i wrote down with scheme so that would be more clear and easly valued
i think this changes they can like or not but it lead anyway to a very balanced system and different playstyles keeping all the rest untouched
