    Default armor fittings

    Skill Name: Puncture Protection
    Mnemonic: puncture
    Other Requirements: Specialized armor fittings (available at your local Warrior Guild workshop) are required. There are five quality tiers of fittings: common (useable at Rank 1), sturdy (Rank 2), fine (Rank 3), superb (Rank 4), and masterwork (Rank 5). If the armor is flared or provides a bonus to AS or TD, it requires sturdy fittings or better. If the armor being adjusted is padded, the quality of the fittings required is:

    Common: May not be used with padded armor.
    Sturdy: May be used with up to fairly padded armor.
    Fine: May be used with up to decently padded armor.
    Superb: May be used with up to very heavily padded armor.
    Masterwork: No limit on level of padding.

    Available to: Warriors.
    Prerequisites:
    None
    Armor Point Cost:
    Rank 1: 20
    Rank 2: 30
    Rank 3: 40
    Rank 4: 50
    Rank 5: 60
    Description: Adjusts a person's armor so that it is more resistant to puncture attacks.

    The base strength of the damage resistance is equal to (Fitting Tier * 10), with common fittings having a value of 1 and masterwork fittings having a value of 5. If the armor is flared or provides a bonus to AS/TD, there is a -10 penalty to the resistance strength. If the armor is padded, there is a penalty of -5 per ASSESS level to a maximum penalty of -40.

    The number of puncture hits that can be taken before the resistance wears off is equal to ((Fitting Tier * 10) + (Armor Use Skill / 10)).
    If I understand the above correctly, if you have a flaring armor that's 10+ crit padded, you would not derive any benefit from even masterwork fittings? Since -10 + -40 = -50, hence negating any benefit?

    Oh, flaring AND padded.

    I can't the wiki to open for ASSESS levels but worst case you will always have +10

    Yeah, it's flaring, has +td bonus, and padded to over 10+.... so it should negate -10 + -40, no?

    Why not? It is, not much, just +5 TD, but still counts as a penalty for fittings.

    It can't have flaring and TD in the same slot.

    I see, banshee flares.

    They are a script, not a true flare (that would occupy the same slot as TD).

    Ah, ok. So I just want to understand one thing, does this:

    If the armor is flared or provides a bonus to AS/TD, there is a -10 penalty to the resistance strength. If the armor is padded, there is a penalty of -5 per ASSESS level to a maximum penalty of -40.
    mean that -40 is the max penalty for crit padding, and then you also have to add -10 for TD boost penalty, or is -40 is the max combined penalty for fittings in general? You said worst case it'd be +10, but way I'm reading it seems like it would be 0, in my case.

    Good question, post on the officials, due to the new slot and ability of padding + TD/flare

    However, my bet is the max remains -40 penalty (or at best +10 resistance).
