Shattered Kingdoms

Does the size of your armor have any effect on its usefulness? ie. Will a dwarf wearing medium sized armor suffer any penalties? (since a dwarf is size: small). Thanks!

Generally, wear armor and weapons of your own size. Different size has several penalties in both armor and weapon slots.

Also wearing bigger armor also means you carry more weight. And too much weight has some penalties on you too.

Like getting weakened and then dropping your WoR potion and dying because you can't move due to having more weight than your capacity.

OWNED!

If someone could clarify also, I also believe that your overall weight affects your dodge skill. As in if you are carrying more than half your maximum weight your dodge isn't as good or something to that effect.

Yes ,if you are under half your max load you get bonuses to dodge.

That is correct, but I do not remember the exact penalty for 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, etc...

Instead of making a new thread, i'll be lazy and hop onto the back of this one.

Does the protection go down if a human is wearing a small sized armor piece?

Yes, I don't know if it is the same exact penalty, but yes the effectiveness of the armor goes down if you wear something too small.

For third row casters who only wear armor for the enchants.. not to melee, size is irrelevent.
