questions

i dont have the req dex for the weapon im using (Armor change) is there a penalty in place for this situation?

Not yet :)

When you dont have the required stats, equipment takes a lot more damage during fights. So it will wear out like a mothafucka, and the repaircosts will go through the roof. But this hasnt been implemented yet :)

I'm not sure if there are other consequences.

also you will miss a hell lot hits too ;)

@Off, how do you figure that? Or do you mean just because his dex is lower than it was before?

I just remember. If you wear items you don't have enough stats for, they take damage almost every hit and you miss way more than you should normally ;)

That last part would be undocumented then, i can't find anything in the formulas at BU

Btw, i just noticed that the chance of equipment getting damaged, only takes Str into account;

(1 / (10 + [STR] - [Required STR])) * 100

So lack of Dex shouldnt even cause extra damage :)
Unless Ender reads this and decides to add Dex to the formula.

he should add dex here, for sure...

Oh i see that the formulas of fights aren't mentioned on BU. I should have those somewhere, i'll have a look later.

I thought you only missed a lot if there was a change of stats and then you don't have enough str/dex to equip the weapon. But for armors they only got damaged more.

Yeah, that should be closest definition about this

I vaguely remember ignoring the "condition" parts of formulas when copying the bots2 documentation over to BU. If memory serves, I think hit chance got multiplied by condition.

So if you don't have the stats for your weapon, it will take damage every hit, bringing down the condition, bringing down your hit chance...I think.
