But that's not the discussion at hand. I feel that the currently discussed item would fit best with the Pavise as it is one of the points of that class as it stands now. Could heavier armor fit the Aventurier better than the Pavise? Maybe. But in that case it should get all the extra armor the Pavise has access to (which is only its Ironflesh buff and the Black Armor so far), because otherwise you'd have two Hero classes with an identical point of focus, while the entire purpose of Hero classes is to specialize in different areas.
Should pavise get swadian boots? Sure, it'd be cute. Should adventurier also get them? Yes, it'd be good for everyone. The point of the pavise champion is to be OP and be a tank, giving adventurier some boots as well really won't ruin the divine pavise champion. Does pavise deserve some buffs? Sure why not. Does it deserve them in place of actually underpowered and horrible classes getting fixed? Only when the goal is to preserve "specializations" and "purity" which is, obviously, a horrible idea.
In short, give the boots to adventurier and pavise champion, it's a simple conclusion.
