miskahn Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Why is it that a monk/blademaster can wear the light-spiked steel gauntlets and not be encumbered but the light-spiked steel boots encumber them. just wanting to know, don't know why but this has always stumped me.

-Totenkopf- Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Because the light spiked boots are too heavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekyllvhyde Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Perhaps monks can deal with a bit more weight on their hands and punch effectively but need something very light on their feet for those kung-fu kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrosto Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Because it's a video game, sir. EDIT: That sounded rude, I meant it as a joke. I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miskahn Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 well yes i know that they are too heavy but that is my whole point of this, why are the boots too heavy, when they are light-spiked... i just thought that they should be about the same weight as the gauntlets right?

jibber Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Well, gauntlet's are usually lighter since there's less steel on them (just being over the knuckles of your hands, usually) . Boots however cover your whole foot, usually up to your shins or higher, and sometimes up to your knees. More steel = more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make much sense when you put it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archbishop Monk Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think it's more a balance thing, too make monks and blademaster's choose between saves or hr/dr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think the builder, just didnt take into account the weight of the "light" boots. Every other light-spiked item can be worn, I believe. The leggings? anyone have a more recent monk with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
