Cordulia Confirming that all other things being equal, the armor experience split does not seem to be affected by hindrance. https://discord.com/channels/619301383451181075/819303984719200297/985014836566040657
Reinforcing shields
There may be a bug with reinforcing shields. No one I know has ever seen the shield's protection increase, but the weight and hindrance still increase. So at this time, I would not recommend reinforcing your shield. --ISHARON (talk) 17:12, 4 September 2015 (CDT)
- I do not believe this is completely true, rather the results are negligible with most shield templates. I was able to successfully reinforce a covellite buckler as follows, note the changes in weight and basic protection. --Padhg (talk) 20:04 19 October 2015 (UTC)
