Platemail offers greater Aggravated damage protection by five points, while Tailored Armor has a higher total protection by 10 points, no strength requirement, a better balance between Lethal and Bashing damage, and a bonus of 80 to the Bashing damage type of modern guns.īlessed/Holy is wearable only by humans, so is pretty much only an applicable choice in multiplayer. The choice between Platemail and Tailored armor in multiplayer is equivocal.
Both cost the same (and the same as the Amulets of Discipline, Blood, and Serenity). Tailored Armor is the best armor in normal times. The best basic armor (assuming strength requirement is not a factor) in Medieval times is Platemail.
Medieval Helms in particular are unequivocally superior to modern helmets, and there are no modern equivalents of the hand and arm protection afforded by Gauntlets, unless one counts Leather Gloves. Modern armor has large bonuses to the Bashing damage type of modern guns, and may be lacking in protection from Aggravated or even Lethal damage. Medieval armor has a more equal spread of protection leather armor even has bonuses against the uncommon damage types such as electrical. While the standard procedure to reset the merchants, on older slower computers, used to be leaving the shop and returning, it is probably faster to save and reload. Note that this does not mean one should spend all their money on Weapons instead Strength and Dexterity are likewise more important than weapons.Īrmor does not have the same availability through the whole of the game quite apart from the obvious split between medieval and modern, the game is coded to offer lower quality armor at the beginning of the medieval half and the beginning of the modern half. Having said this, armor is additional protection, can become a higher value source of protection against Bashing and Lethal types of damage than Stamina, and either drops for free or makes good use of a resource, Gold, that might otherwise go to waste and can be obtained and increased in multiple ways.
These "insulated" pieces, and the Unholy Armor, are carried with Christof to modern times, if in Christof's inventory at the time of that transition. Stamina protects well in two ways it can protect against all types of damage about as well as armor, and it protects equally well against all types of damage, including types that armor almost always does not protect against at all: Cold, Electrical, Faith, Sun and Fire. From this, and the fact that both XP and money are in finite supply, can be derived the importance of the fact that Armor is a type of protection that can be purchased for mere money, and requires no XP points to be spent on it. The first, as can be seen by looking at the Damage Formula, is Stamina. The first two things to know about armor is that it is the second most important form of protection.
