Which monsters have armor and which don't ?

[Postman]

Monster pop-up window doesn't show armor. Are only explicitly "armored skeleton warrior" have armor? Or all humanoids? Or all monsters? Or only those humanoids which drop armor after death?

Look in /modules/tome/data/general/npcs

for example in skeletons.lua:

Code: Select all

newEntity{ base = "BASE_NPC_SKELETON",
	name = "degenerated skeleton warrior", color=colors.WHITE, image="npc/degenerated_skeleton_warrior.png",
	level_range = {1, 18}, exp_worth = 1,
	rarity = 1,
	resolvers.equip{ {type="weapon", subtype="greatsword", autoreq=true} },
	max_life = resolvers.rngavg(40,50),
	combat_armor = 5, combat_def = 1,

Some are also in tome/data/zones/zonename/npcs.lua

Easiest way to learn what has armor is to play a fighter and turn on shield wall too early. The monsters you can't damage? They've got armor. (Bears are the big ones there.)

I do think the popup SHOULD display the monster's armor. After all, it displays the monster's stats, and those are a lot more private that its armor rating.

Stone Trolls can be pretty bad early game if you don't have APR. I learned this by fighting them with a Warden. Using a bow they'd take good damage, using my two weapons they'd take very little.
