620 News from Simucon

Mestys would like to modify 620 to be workable on leather and cloth armor accessories. He says it's doable, and he will once he has the time for it. >> - Belnia's Player, from the Officials

Pretty damn cool.

This seems kind of like an idea that wasn't thought out, because cloth/leather accessories don't always provide cloth/leather protection. Someone in MBP can throw on a paper helm and cardboard greaves and they'll count for plate protection. If they're going to allow those accessories to have nature's resistance, why not just allow the torso armor as well?

So theoretically this would allow for a person to have more then one type of resistance worn at the same time? Seems a bit much.

Torso armor CAN have nature's resistance. Plate armor level accessories already have the advantage of stopping certain C-mans. They changed it so leather armor accessories cannot provide this bonus (or shouldn't, if they do). There have already had off-the-shelf releases of armor accessories which protected against various elements, including slash/puncture type attacks.

I am unsure how the blending aspect of armor resistance will work. Anyone with a current set of resisted greaves or helmet and resisted armor care to explain?
