Talk:Light armor

For the life of me, I can't figure out why the Light Armor Proficiency link on the article page is red. If you click it, it takes you to the correct page. Can someone spot the problem? Dedridd 07:55, February 13, 2006 (PST)


 * It's blue for me. I think you just had to reload the page. -- Tihocan 08:05, February 13, 2006 (PST)


 * I actually tried that first thing, and then emptied out the temp cache. Still no good. I even tried both Firefox and IE. Oh, well, as long as it's just me. :) Dedridd 08:27, February 13, 2006 (PST)

I see someone added the Mirhril chain shirt. Should that be in the base light armor page or should that just be an item with the category mirhtil and the category chain shirt. (Or however Peerless is going to arrange it in his ninja like ways :) )  Personally I think that this should just be a listing of the base items othweise the table gets way too long with leather +1 leather +2 leather +3 leather +2 aardvarkian  and so on.  Maybe each item could link to a category of all of the known items of that type.  Such as leather armor linking to all of the leather armors currently in the game? -- koolkat 15:11, February 13, 2006 (PST)


 * A Mithril Chain Shirt is Light Armor, which suggests it should be on this page. Where else would it go?  The dex bonus and armor check differences are noteworthy.  However, it is far more important that someone test the Mithril Breastplate and consider adding it to this page.  That is a Medium Armor which becomes Light due to the Mithril properties, and it is highly unusual for armor to shift weight category like that, so it really needs an entry here.


 * The question koolkat is getting at and that I'm concerned with as well, is whether Mithril Chain is considered a base armor type, or is it a magical type of Chain Shirt? IE, will we see Mithril Chain +1, or Mithril Chain of XXXX Resistance, or is Mithril Chain the only version we'll see? I don't know the answer to that, I haven't gotten far enough in the game. As an analogy, elven chainmail is a magical type of chainmail, not a base armor type. If there's other, special types of Mithril Chain, then it's a base light armor type and belongs on this page. If not, then it's a magical type of Chain Shirt and should have an item page denoting it as type Chain Shirt. Dedridd 18:06, February 13, 2006 (PST)


 * A mithril chain shirt is a special chain shirt, not a new class of armor. There might also be an adamantine chain shirt sometime as well and we would just make it as an item and not add it to the list.  We wouldnt want to see every light armor on the list because theres going to be TONS, instead we will have a category for light armors that will list every light armor. -- koolkat 20:00, February 13, 2006 (PST)
