Armor RT ranks necessary

[weasel82]

Anyone able to point me to one of those tables that show how many ranks it takes, in armor, to remove the additional RT for each ASG?

Thanks.

http://www.nilandia.com has one under the "combat" section. play.net has one as well.

So wait, in calculating hinderance to wear a Metal Breastplate. My 18 train elven pally that has 43 ranks in armor can wear it without any roundtime modifier? Seems weird.

Here's what I got:

No RT modifier: 34 ranks
No Magical Hinderance: 90 ranks

There's a CM modifier to, but I did not post it.

This look right?

60 ranks for RT, 100 ranks to reach min. magical hinderance. There will always be a hinderance, but for the minimum you need 80.

You can also use stat bonuses to help remove RT penalty earlier, but it will hurt you for CMans and avoiding maneuver attacks and stuff.

All weapons have a minimum swing RT. As such, if your character is swinging a falchion at 5 seconds (the minimum), his or her "actual" RT could be anywhere from 5 to -2. This means that your character can apparently have no RT penalty from being undertrained for armor even when he or she does.

Metal Breastplate requires 70 ranks to minimize the RT penalty and 80 ranks to minimize the maneuver penalty: 9 seconds * 20 skill per second = 180 skill = 80 ranks.
