Shield question.. - Oncogene - 25-12-2011
I noticed that shields have a body armor stat. Does this armor only apply to the shield's hitpoints or does having the shield on your character add to your own body armor?
Re: Shield question.. - Johao - 25-12-2011
It only applies to shield, the higher your shield armour rating, the less damage the shield will recieve from a hit.
Axes negate armour rating of shields however, get board shields as they have the highest shield health if you intend to go against axes.
Heater Shields have the best armour rating, so if you're concerned in best long term shield protection from arrows and blows (except from axes), this is your best choice.

Go for a round shield if you like a handicap

I am also unsure if that's a cRPG or Native Multiplayer mechanic but I believe that having a shield on your back adds Shield's body armor + 10 to any projectile that hits the shield on your back.
So, if you have 40 body armor and your shield has 20 body armor and is on your back, if you get shot anywhere in the shield on your back, you'll have 70 body armor to the projectile.

Shouldn't the arrow just hit the shield? I'm pretty sure that's what happens in native.

Singleplayer, not multiplayer.

Ah, I do believe you're right. Shame really.
