  • [slashem] Restricted armor with Undead slayer doppelganger ?

    From Janis Papanagnou@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 20 06:36:12 2020
    This is Slashem. I am playing an Undead slayer, of race I am a doppelganger. Found a -1 dwarvish mithril coat but (AFAIR) got only 3 points of AC from it. Meanwhile I advanced AC but get only 2 points of AC from that mithril armor.
    Is that some sort or restriction? (Cannot find it mentioned on the respective role and race Wiki pages.)

    Per subject, I don't try to understand how Str-Dex-Con vs [ vs
    role-race-gender works and/or influences AC --- I just try what I've
    got and then decide is it for sale or not. Indeed, The Wiki isn't
    helpful :(

    I had noticed the AC bonus with increased dexterity before. In my current
    game my dexterity of 13 has not influence according to the depicted table.

    But "Doppelgangers get the bonus for not wearing any armor"!

    Wow! - It's new that I play doppelgangers, so I hadn't noticed that before.

    Thanks for the link!
