Bodywear

Medieval armor, though it protected the wearer from slashing and piercing weapons, was cumbersome and vulnerable at the joints.

File:Placeholder

Armor equipment generally lowers the chance that you will be hit during melee.  There are several equipment slots that are considered armor in JediMUD:

• Headwear
• Armwear
• Gloves
• Bodywear
• Legwear
• Footwear
• Shields
• About Bodywear
• Waistwear

Which Bodywear is Best?

Depending on your role in melee, you'll need to balance the need for lowest AC (armor class) vs. special attributes, like damage, hitroll, or a statistic bonuses.

Tanks, the characters that initiate melee and absorb mob attacks, generally require low AC and damage/hitroll bonuses.

Spell casters will want to wear equipment that boosts their prime statistics, like WIS or INT, in order to increase spell-casting damage.  Balancing statistic bonuses with mana regeneration is important to spell casters for speedy experience running or equipment farming.

The following lists are sorted by the various needs of tanks and spell casters.
