Docents Mithral Body and Tempest Captones not working.

[shinsirhc]

The tempest capstone "Dervish" does not provide any of it's light armor bonuses: the 10 PRR, MRR & MP.

I tried it on a pure ranger Bladeforged.

[shinsirhc]

still not working on lamannia update 33 patch 2.

[JOTMON]

the forged classes have been neglected for a long time..


~Mithral not coded to give proper PRR/MRR
extra punishment for the Forged classes..

Named Mithral armors are still screwed up.



WF/BF have to use a feat to take a body type beyond Composite (composite should be treated as light armor for PRR/MRR )
Mithral is treated as light armor even though it should be recognized as Mithral Medium Armor.

1. Composite Body should be giving the armor cap equivalent of light armor, it is base plating that has the properties of padded armor and treated in a similar way to how mithral moves the armor from medium to light, Composite plating moves the armor from light to none(effectively heavy robes/padded armr).

Composite Body:
This plating is not natural armor and does not stack with other effects that give an armor bonus (other than natural armor).
This composite plating occupies the same space on the body as a suit of armor or a robe, and thus a warforged cannot wear armor or magic robes.
Composite plating also provides a warforged with a 5% arcane spell failure chance, similar to the penalty for wearing light armor.


2. WF/BF Mithral body is medium body plating made of MIthral wich moves it into the light category. This is why there is no actual selectable medium body armor option.

Mithral Body:
Docents you equip provide armor equivalent to Chainmail. This is treated as metallic light armor
(because it is Mithral, otherwise it would be medium armor, which is why WF/BF don't have a Medium Armor choice)

3. Adamantine Body:
Docents you equip provide armor equivalent to Full Plate.
This is treated as metallic heavy armor. You have damage reduction 2/adamantine, a 35% arcane spell failure chance, -5 armor check penalty to certain skills, and a +1 maximum dexterity bonus.
Note: Evasion doesn't work for Warforged with Adamantine Body since it is considered a heavy armor.


They know about it, even if its not on the known issues list..

We understand that there are folks that would like us to give some attention to mithril (and adamantine, and random-gen armor in general.) So far our schedule has not permitted it, but hopefully this is something we can carve out time for when the time is right.




Had hoped they would of considered something like...


WF/BF body type choices..

They may not be humanoid but they were formed/molded to look like them..
add the body type choice for the WF/BF to select a body mold type that allows them to wear armor like fleshies instead of docents
http://eberronunlimited.wikidot.com/feat:unarmored-body

Feat: Unarmored Body
Your body is crafted without its normal layer of armor, trading off physical strength for magical potential.
Prerequisites: Warforged/Bladeforged, 1st level only.
Benefit: You lose the normal +2 armor bonus and light fortification common to warforged characters, but you have no inherent chance of arcane spell failure and can wear armor or magic robes and gain their full effects.
Special: Unlike most feats, this feat must be taken at 1st level, during character creation. If you later select any warforged feat that grants or adjusts an armor bonus or damage reduction, you lose this feat and all its effects.
