Targeting an opponents armour?



Asked: 2000.12.04
Name: Shadeslay
Question Title: Targeting an opponents armour?
Category: Balance
Question: I have tried several times, to no avail. Is it possible? If not why do we have spells such as brittle mail ect? I realize this would effect PK balance. However as it is now a mage can vuln a melee & that melee will have 0al against that spell, because banes & armour offer no protects vs spells. However, if a melee was to vuln a mage that mage's banes would still give him protection. I read in a previous post that armour & banes will never protect vs spells. Seems a bit unfair, however, if we could target an opponents armour, it would give melee a better chance in PKing, granted they would have to cast twice as many spells to debuff a mage.

Thx for your time

Answer: No, it's not possible. Tactically, Lures and Brittle can only be used on shields.
