Leather Skirt rules

Postby Gudge » Thu Mar 16, 2006 10:21 pm

When people have leather skirts, what the hell are the rules for hit taking. I want to make the skirt, but would like to know what the rules on armor hit taking are for this armor

There are no hit taking rules for any armor. Armor covers what it covers and takes one blue hit to break.
An armor skirt would allow you to take one extra hit to each leg from blue weapons.
Make one, I like mine. Although, mine is split so that the top of my thigh sometimes peaks out ad gets hit. I hate that. Maybe I need an extra peice in there some where.
Anyway, between the skirt and the over-the-ke greaves, I'm pretty much a tank. but it all moves really well.

What exactly are you asking? All armor is the same under the rules regardless of style or location - it protects the area it covers only, and protects each target area (arm, body, leg) underneath it against one blue hit and an infinite number of single-green stabs, but does nothing against two handed stabs, red hits, or missile weapons (except for helmets).

Are you asking what you should do if you get hit in the skirt but it doesn't actually hit your leg? There was a long thread about that a little while ago, which had mixed conclusions. Some people say don't take it (call garb), but the safe bet would be to take it as a hit to the armor regardless.

I take it as a hit to the armor unless it's just a slappy graise on the very tips of the strips the skirt is made of. My skirt is so heavey, it doesn't flip around very much. And the strips are tied together in groups of 8 or so. So this type of graise hardly ever happens.
Most shots that hit the skirt would have hit me, and the ones that wouldn't have aren't worth argueing about so I take them.

Easy answer...

If it hits your armor your armor is gone on the leg it hit.

If your leg is out and your leg is hit (think more than half of the hit is not on armor, or your leg is doing a sexy sticking out kinda wanna spank that woman kinda thing) than the armor is not effective and your leg was taken.

I hope this has made it easy.

Armor doesn't take the hit, it makes the location take a 1/2 hit. That's why red's do 2 hits to a location.

commence argument.

Off Topic: Grim I understand what you are saying, but that sounds Amtguardish to me. Will you please show me where you are getting this information? I would like it for my own records.

Grim is correct. The armor does not take the hit. The body part beneath it does. That is why two pieces of armor on a leg (skirt + greave) only give the leg one extra hit instead of one for each.

sure, whether your thigh or calf gets hit, are you still going to be standing?

Is conclusion to garb/armour(war Skirt) question settled: if its hit by a weapon and it is armour, then its 'armour' not 'garb'...

You missed my point. I was saying since the BODY part takes the hit, not the armor, in effect armor is invincible. That being said, a flap of skirt armor flailing in the wind and being struck by a sword has no effect. It's like a garb call, and that's what I always call it as since saying "Armor" would make the person think they delt a half-hit to one of my hit locations. And that's just not fair.
