| | | Where's all the armor???
I'm in Kalduhar right now in non-Heart of Fury mode and up until this point, the available armor has just totally sucked. No +3 or 4 armors whatsoever and the only +2's seem to be leather, studded, and chain. Somebody please tell me theres better armor to come?

| | | They simply forgot to include several armour. No kidding.
There will be a patch out (hopefully) soon.

| | | If you collect the rhino beetle shells and have enough gold, you can have them made into pretty decent (and lightweight) plate armor.

| | | I know all about them, and their only equivilent to +1 at best, so those fall into my sucky category. I mean theres no unique armor at all, its all just +1 or +2 and thats it. I mean common, what a jip, I wanna see some Armor of the Heart, or Gorgon Plate, or Mail of the Dead. They got a lot of interesting weapons, but the armor is horribly lacking. Don't get me wrong, I love IWDII with a passion, but I'm confounded as to why they've ommitted cool armor.

| | | Another thing to consider is that under the D&D3 ruleset, the maximum DEX bonus sometimes makes "better" armour undesirable when compared to lighter armour.
For instance, if your character has a high DEX bonus, running around in studded leather +4 (with a max DEX bonus of +6) will result in a better armour class than chainmail +2 that caps your DEX bonus at +2.

| | | Again, theres no "cool" armor. Surly there should be magical armor that could raise that maximum dex bonus for the heavier armors, but theres nothing interteresting at all, its all plain and simple + armors and its kinda boring like that.

| | | i hate to interrupt your rant, but the designers made a mistake! the better armours were omitted by accident. hopefully soon there will be a patch to restore the better armours.

| | ok, i just fail to see the point, i guess.
of course there should be good heavy armour in the game, after all this is not athas. 
i've got two guys running about in the beetle full plate, which is nice bc it's so light, but they tend to get pounded in combat. it seems counter intuitive that (edit oops, 2nd edition thinking) the higher ac's are from the guys w/ the lighter armour.

| | BJ666 (did you think about abbreviations?  ) and DOCTORB (cool epsiode BTW), if you want to spam, do it in SYM. That way you might, if you try hard enough, have a post count like mine. |

Straying badly off topic is typically viewed as spamming. SYM (Speak Your Mind) is the place where that sort of thing is tolerated (and encouraged).
Back on topic... I'm glad to hear better armor is on the way. I was a little p!ssed by the lack of good armor in the game. Can't wait for the patch to come out. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/winkgrin.gif

| | | You know that part in IWD2 where . . . I wasn't that far off topic, I want to get more posts going, but I want them to be on-topic posts related to IWD2 (sorry Gruntboy if you ever read this, this will be my last spam now that I know what it is, but u have to admit: at least I tryed to make this non-spam) . . . that part was really cool.
