armor values inncorect?

If you are using normal armor regarding the chain chest, the arms will give more armor.
If you are using GM armor, the arms take away armor.

That's not how it worked on OSI. I had a gm smith and lt archers, gm made, always had sleeves and they always added to the armor.

That's the only reason why we ran around with that mix-match set up.

I agree. If it behaved on OSI like it currently does here, no one would have worn the ringmail arms.

The one thing that I am absolutely sure is wrong is the female armor not covering arms. My main in t2a was a female and i never had to wear arms if wearing a female chest piece. Adding plate arms to female plate did absolutely nothing.

Also please keep in mind that we not only had Light Archer but we had Heavy Archer suits too... And the difference was only between Ring Arms (-1) and the Plate Arms (-3??).

There was a reason for this and it was for the higher AR count.

If tunics covered arms or somehow excluded the AR benefits from ring or plate arms

a) no one would have done it
b) no one would have given up the dex
c) there wouldn't have been lt or hvy archers because there woudlnt' have been any benefit.

As I primarily play an orc, this fix is little to no benefit to me. I'd just like to see it fixed for accuracy.

Derrik I was a blacksmith for a very long time. Through all of T2A and atleast as far into UOR that i played the standard suit of armor was the "archer suit"

That was chain shirt, ring shoulders, plate gorget, chain pants, whatever hat.

If you put a chain shirt on and a ring shoulders you lose armor.. thats not possibly correct or that would not have been the suit of armor everyone was wearing forever.

Chain Shirts covered chest only!

on catskills the most common was;

helmet/ plate arms / plate gorget/ chain chest/ chain legs/ringgloves

this would be 30 armor -3dex suit
