2ND GEAR REBALANCE
Released prematurely because I needed to get the above bug-fixes out. I will continue tweaking and experimenting with the armour balances. Please leave feedback in the form of angry rants.
- Toughness-based damage resistance amplified, so 20% more damage at 0 toughness and 20% less damage at max toughness
- All shirt armour damage resistances reduced by 40%
- Global damage decreased 10% to counterbalance the above 2 changes
- All weapon armour penetration bonuses/penalties increased by 50%
- Heavy armour coverage reductions from the last rebalance have been reverted
- Chain and plate damage resistance increased by 0.05, leather lowered by the same amount, also further reduced based on weight class
- Increased damage and armour piercing of the Heavy Polearm by 10%
- katana class damage penalty vs robots reduced from 50% to 40%
- Cleavers get a 10% penalty vs animals
- Stealth penalties removed from helmets
- Not yet added, but the plan is to add some hiver-specific armour shirts
