Hi there - fairly new to Arcanum, I'm playing a dwarven technologist and I've got to the point where if I point a couple more points into smithy I'll be able to make a suit of armour - what I want to know before I do this is: What size will the suit of armour be? Will it be small so that I can wear it or will it be a waste of time? Also are there any places I can go where small armour is more common? I'm having a real job finding much. Ta muchly.. Grunt
It's hard to find non-medium size armor. Small armor is easier than large, though. I think that one of the ingredients will be a suit of armor that is going to be upgraded, and if you use a small one, your new improved armor will be small.
Armor should fit, as long as you use small components while making it. You'll need Leather Armor to make the Elite Platemail, and as long as you make it from a small suit of it, it should fit your bearded little runt just fine. Well, there are plenty of it at the Wheel Clan (all the guards). Also, there's a dwarven smith in Caladon who wears a suit of Machined Platemail. Although, what's probably the best small armor in the game can be found at the Iron Clan...
Just use the size leather you wear,note it must be leather not guard. for electro armour you will need basic plate in your size.(a real b*tch if your a half orge). The same applies to healing jacket in electrical stream.
When i create my ultrastrong ogre guy i never find anything better than studded leather but in my other games i find tons of large armours. Half elves are best woohee
