Shattered Kingdoms

Particularly on the subject of 'Magical Protection' enchantments and how they effect you when on items worn about the body.. I've always assumed that they were like jewelry and effected your -magic- protection, but I second guess myself at times.. I know items worn about the body don't deflect attacks, so it wouldn't be physical protection over your whole body right?

Hopefully this question makes sense to someone, cause my wording of it couldn't be worse.

I'm actually not sure. I'm fairly sure if you wear just like a skin it adds to your overall armor like a shield. On the other hand, it's a container/treasure that you're referring to so it could go either way.

my understanding is that mp does two things:

- overall magical damage reduction
- on body-specific pieces of armor, mp raises the AC of that piece against attacks. thus, mp on leggings raise AC on attacks against the leg. for everything else, it's just overall magical damage reduction.

You may have seen some Magical Protection replies recently that were not clear. The IMMstaff wants us to correct a few points in those posts. Magical Protection is approved for Gank protection. If you choose Magical Protection for enchantment, you should know Magical Protection is for the treatment of Total Failure to Save Vs. Spells, or TFSS, and awful AC, not for the treatment of Low Saves or middling armor class. Unlike Low Saves, symptoms of TFSS are severe enough to interfere with your life. Magical Protection has helped many characters reduce their TFSS symptoms and awful AC, but you should know that it may not work for everyone.

Magical Protection contains Enhancement, a different kind of bonus, that for some may increase stats too much, so you shouldn't get Magical Protection if you have kidney, liver, or adrenal disease because this could cause serious stacking and health problems. Tell your enchanter if you're on daily long-term treatment for a chronic condition like Natural Armor Bonuses or Magical Resistance.

Magical Protection does not protect against Hammer Invasive Violence or the plague. Serious risks include blood clots, stroke, and heart attack so characters especially over venerable age shouldn't PVP because it increases these risks.

Talk to your enchanter about Magical Protection.
