Repair skill to reduce upkeep

[Stormcrow]

I think it would be a good idea if the was a trade skill or repair skill to reuce the cost of upkeeping armour. This way players could put points into it and reduce cost but in return would have less point to spend on other skills like powerstrike. The repair skill could be tied strength or agility or bothdepending on which is less. The repair skill would reduce upkeep maybe 8-10% per lvl of repair. I think this would solve some problems allowing players to sacrifice skill points for less upkeep and therefore better equipment.

Thats the greatest idea ever

already been suggested, and don't be a jackass by self-bumping/patting yourself on the back.

you know what we need? a suggestions forum

No... unless there's some way to get more skill points.  Otherwise where are these excess skill points coming from to put into repair skill?

If you're a 2her or archer I can see having excess points to convert/spend on new skill, but as a cav or 1her they're just not there.

I'd just like to say that poll is biased

Did you just post in your own thread saying your idea is the greatest ever ?

On topic: I wouldn't mind as long as it was properly balanced. Having enough of this to allow constant wearing of Black Armour for example should take a considerable amount of skillpoints, weakening the character in other areas.

No. Stop trying to avoid upkeep.
