Imbued leather=6 mods > Imbued metal=5 mods.

[Splup]

I would really like to see a fix to this leather being superior compared to metal armors.

Why I get 6 mods to leather armor (free mage armor), and only 5 mods to metal? Yes, samurai mage armor takes imbuing slot.

I'd still prefer all armor being meddable or then seeing some serious boost on metal.

This should have been fixed a long time ago, Id propose a sort of damage absorbing thing on nonmedable armor (metal and stone etc)

 

[mjolnir131]

metal armror should never have a 1 in the base resist anywhere. and the protection needs to be a visable better differance as you work up the ladder to plate

...

Agreed.

 

[The Fallout]

Yea Leather has the advantage in all areas, whether it is magical or for resistances. They should even it out.

 

[Calyndrell]

I dunno how many times i have asked for thise to be made fair..

so I'll simply say agreed

 

[guum]

Metal armor should have higher base physical resist. It makes no sense for leather armor to have the same physical resist as metal. I'd propose like +5 physical resist per piece for ringmail, +7 for chain, and +10 for plate.

Something like that.

Alternately, there could be some sort of hidden "damage reduction" quality for metal armor, as with barded swamp dragons. That might be a more fun addition.

What's even stranger is Mage Armor has a 1.4 property weight. And takes a very rare (10 Abyssal Cloth) special ingredient, and since it's default 100% intensity, it takes the max amount of resources too!
