Slings and Blunts/Staves should be completely viable in 3.x. Some good things did come out of the rewrites :P When time allows I'll do a more thorough investigation and see if any tweaks need to be made. It really seems as though most RPGs sidestep this issue by preventing cross-armor use entirely. You class/guild determines what armor you can wear, and that is that. In DR we offer more flexibility, but not to the extent players want. Do keep in mind that we'll have a bit more flexibility once enchanting is done. Possible enchantments: * Permanent small hindrance reduction * Permanent small protection increase * Permanent moderate stealth hindrance reduction * Temporary moderate hindrance reduction with cooldown * Temporary protection increase with cooldown * Temporary large stealth hindrance reduction with cooldown Other options: * Reactive armor that damages incoming attackers * Armor swaps what skillset it uses/trains * Unstable armor that randomizes prot/absorb with each hit - sometimes its very high, sometimes it is very low * Feather armor - large weight reduction for armor * Living armor - fun atmo effects, armor transforms into animals/things when removed * Elemental armor - even more verbs/atmo effects * Warded armor - small chance of disrupting incoming spells with a long cooldown And so on...
