Abyss.... I've heard from several people that've used the things that they basically work as normal armour, until hit by the special attack that it says in the description. (fire, thrown, magic, etc etc...) Then it absorbs the blow completely, and it has a set amount of damage it can absorb before it vanishes. Or percent chance of vanishing, something like that.
So say you have a banded mail helmet of piggy poop protection. So you're killing the Uber Piggy from Hell, and he flings a poop hammer at your head. The helm absorbs the poop, like a good piggy poop protection helm should... The piggy poop would've done 63 hps damage, and the helm has a 120 total piggy poop absorption rating. So the next one does 40, leaving you with only 17 hps worth of piggy poop prot. The next load he squirts your way would've done 93 hps (Now THAT's a lotta piggy poop!!!)... so the helm absorbs the blow, but because it's had its fill of piggy poop, it self destructs, leaving a brown smear on your nappy head.
At least....... that's how I've heard that it works. *grin*

I wonder if blessing the mail increases the amount of poop it can take? Maybe it a random number thing where it has a range of 125-150 poops. we will prolly never find out!

this is pris. I can't seem to log in with my password now. it's weird, same thing happens when I try to log into howmail. I think I have a virus that Norton catch spot or something. Anyways, lots to catch up with here. Sorry it took so long for me to find and read this thread. Duh. I took another look at radiant armour and spotted a potential problem that I never noticed before that would make it react like Calvin decsribed. Totally unintentional and yeah, it's been like that since it was created. I was a very lame programmer then Should be fixed now. Give it a whirl and let me know if you keep getting problems with it. And yes, it can still potentially disappear so keep it bound. Just hopefully not so instantly. Calvin, your run-in with the armour was probably with a piece that somebody else had been using for a while and then sold. It probably should degrade in value the more it's used but like I always say...I'm a lazy coder. The powerful pieces of armour (ie, banded mail/platemail etc) should be of use to you higher levelers much more than they leather/lower armour types that you can make. They don't last forever, sure, but they can be a massive help if you're picking your kills right. Basically I made them with elf rogues in mind. A race/class combination that can be awesome tanks but totally get ridden hard by spellcasting npcs. Others can still use them effectively but remember that since it's possible to have 4 or 5 pieces of that armour then just 1 piece isn't going to all that powerful (although certainly still useful for a time). Try getting a fresh piece of fire absorbtion armour and taking your party to play with Razar and tell me there isn't a difference. At least for some of the battle. Yours, Pris

Cool. Thanks Pris!!! I'll give the radiant armour a whirl tonight. As for the special resistance armours... I'll have to do some testing with those. I really haven't played with them that much, beyond using the helm of the ghost a bit.

Oh... as a funny (at least, funny to me) side note: I was looking at my profile again to figure out why in the bleepety bleep bleeping bleep my stupid Calvin picture wasn't working... when I noticed that the first one of the pre-packaged, built in avatar images looked like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, with a load of poop on his head. Which, of course, reminded me of my banded mail helmet of piggy poop protection post... and sent me into instant hysterics. So, to make a short story long, I found my new image, and didn't even have to look for it!!! w00t w00t!!! Now who said mondays HAVE to suck?? ;D
