Things that could be like WPF. (Repairs)

[manwithsnake]

I'm just wondering, but you know how the higher WPF skill you have on a certain thing, the chance of repairing that field of weaponry is lowered? I was thinking it would be cool if something like Iron flesh would lower the repair chance by like .2% for armor. Then Horse riding would lower the chance of repairing a horse by like .2%. Or Shield level would reduce the chance of repairing shields. Now the percentages from my view would be okay. I don't know though if it is to high or to low of a %. And each point you would have on a thing like Horse, (Level 6 or something.) Then it would be 1.2% lower than the average rating. I do not know how the game developers could put this into the game. But it is just a suggestion.

Sincerely,

This makes sense, and it would be good I think. But it is not concerning the game balance as what you suggest benefits almost all type of characters.
Ironflesh = good for 2handers/pole, and almost all melee
Riding = good for cavalry
Shield = shielders, hoplites

Only thing that is missing is missile cavalry as it seems.

Slight mistake you got here, wpf already cover our arrows/bows/bolts/xbows/throwing weapons, and riding covers our horses.
So we're covered.

No you're wrong there, wpf covers bows, xbows and throwings. Bolts and arrows should not be included
But yeah I see your point I think, this system is a buff to melee

What I mean is, it would bring down the chance of repairing Horses, Armor, and Shields!

All melee, nothing about ranged.

Maybe make a seperate skill for archers just like Horse Archery, for every 6 agility you can put one point in fletchery? Lowers the repair chance of bolts and arrows, this would also count as a kind of nerf to Archers, gives them less points to put in other skills and maybe lowering the amount of archers kiting?
