[...] There's some truth in this. From my and PeterM's tests we have seen that physical, being a melee attack is a bit less dangerous than others. Of course, reducing physical resistance *will* make the game harder for warriors, but not in a way that it is byond sanity. So we agreed to a total max of 90% armour: boots 10 helmet 30 armour 60 shield 40 gauntlets 15 / gloves 10 cloak 20 bracers 10 total max: 90% This is the theory. Has yet to be coded into the game of course. Andreas V.
