Changes Board

Armour checks have been made more consistent, especially for shapeshifters and characters with racial or equipment restrictions. Shapeshifters: previously, equipment checks could disagree with what your form allowed, blocking usable gear or showing misleading choices. Your current form now decides which kinds of equipment you can wear, while your race's limits and any bans on metal or magical armour still apply. Vampires: worn armour was still adding protection in bat, beast and mist forms, despite being described as melded into your body. It now provides no armour protection while shifted. Its protection returns when you resume humanoid form; your other defensive bonuses remain. Mages, including Enchanters: metal armour could previously slip through the checks. All Mage subclasses now follow the documented restriction to non-metal armour. Equipment displays and shop checks have also been brought into line with these rules. Some existing equipment and characters may take time to pick up the changes.
