Title: Helms, Gauntlets and Greaves
Post by: Squid on July 19, 2011, 03:55:31 am

How do these work? Do they add a amount to your "universal" armour rating, or do they only count when that part of the body is hit?

Thanks in advance  :D

Greaves only apply to your legs and helms only apply to your head.

Gauntlets add to your body armor.

So for simplicity sake, you have three target areas: Head, Legs, Torso/arms.

Helmets only protect your head.

Greaves only protect your legs.

Body armor/gloves protect the torso/arms.

feet you may be able to skimp on, but do not skimp on a helm.
I laugh at guys in field plate that wear no helm for looks.  i can 1shot them with an overhead to the face

Rarely, body armor adds head armor as well as body and leg armor (gothic plate with bevor).
