Armor Hindrances in GS4
The following table shows the base hindrances for each armor type. In no case will the hindrance ever be less than the value shown. If a character is undertrained for their armor type, the penalty will increase, but it will never exceed the Max hindrance shown in the rightmost column.
The amount of skill required to train off the excess armor hindrance is ((20 * Hindrance) - 10).
The amount of skill required to train off RoundTime hindrance is (20*RT mod).
Unlike in
GemStone III, there is no MAvA to train off.
Example: For a
Ranger to train off the excess armor hindrance for casting a Ranger circle
spell in Chainmail (AsG 13), the required skill is ((20 * 7) - 10) = 130.
How many ranks for my armor?
In order to
figure out the number of ranks required to train off the hindrance for your
particular armor, use the following formulas:
If skill <= +50 bonus, ranks = bonus/5.
If 50 < skill <= 90, ranks = ((bonus – 50)/4) + 10.
If 90 < skill <= 120, ranks = ((bonus – 90)/3) + 20.
If 120 < skill <= 140, ranks = ((bonus – 120)/2) + 30.
If skill > 141, ranks = bonus – 100.
In the example used above, a Ranger would need 130 skill to train off the hindrance. Therefore, ranks = ((130 - 120)/2) + 30, which is at total of 35.
