Prerequisites for Armor and Shield Proficiencies
Assume two pieces of Equipment:
- Chainmail TYPE:Armor.Medium PROFICIENCY:ARMOR|Chainmail
- Mithril Chainmail TYPE:Armor.Light PROFICIENCY:ARMOR|Chainmail
1. What armor is a character proficient in?
| Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF ARMORTYPE=Light | Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF Chainmail | Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF ARMORTYPE=Light,ARMORTYPE=Medium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Is the character proficient with Chainmail? | No | Yes | Yes |
| Is the character proficient with Mithril Chainmail? | Yes | Yes | Yes |
2. How should a PREARMORPROF:1,TYPE=Light in an item be interpreted? NB: Remember that chainmail is medium and mithral chain is light and that mithril might be defined in a different set (e.g. advanced while chainmail is in basic).
| Interpretation | Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF ARMORTYPE=Light | Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF Chainmail | Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF ARMORTYPE=Light,ARMORTYPE=Medium |
|---|---|---|---|
| a) TYPE= is a TYPE on the ArmorProf only (non-sensical, given structure of our data) | Character does NOT qualify for Item | Character does NOT qualify for Item | Character does NOT qualify for Item |
| b) TYPE= is a TYPE on the ArmorProf or matches ARMORTYPE= in AUTO:ARMORPROF | Character qualifies for Item | Character does NOT qualify for Item | Character qualifies for Item |
| c) TYPE= is a TYPE on the Armor, e.g. ARMORTYPE= | Character qualifies for Item | Character qualifies for Item | Character qualifies for Item |
| d) TYPE= is a TYPE on the Armor, e.g. ARMORTYPE=, BUT only tests items where Proficiency Key == Equipment Key | Character qualifies for Item | Character does NOT qualify for Item | Character qualifies for Item |
3. How should a PREARMORPROF of a specific name be interpreted?
| Interpretation | Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF ARMORTYPE=Light | Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF Chainmail | Character has AUTO:ARMORPROF ARMORTYPE=Light,ARMORTYPE=Medium | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item has PREARMORPROF:1,Chainmail | a) Primitive item is an ArmorProf | Character does NOT qualify for item (ArmorProf has no TYPE in ArmorProf file) | Character qualifies for Item | Character does NOT qualify for item (ArmorProf has no TYPE in ArmorProf file) |
| Item has PREARMORPROF:1,Mithril Chainmail | a) Primitive item is an ArmorProf | Should fail on load? | Should fail on load? | Should fail on load? |
| Item has PREARMORPROF:1,Chainmail | b) Primitive item is an ArmorProf or Equipment where ArmorProf Key == Equipment Key | Character does NOT qualify for Item | Character qualifies for Item | Character qualifies for Item |
| Item has PREARMORPROF:1,Mithril Chainmail | b) Primitive item is an ArmorProf or Equipment where ArmorProf Key == Equipment Key | Should fail on load? | Should fail on load? | Should fail on load? |
| Item has PREARMORPROF:1,Chainmail | c) Primitive item is Equipment, test effectively can be thought of as PREPROFICIENTWITHARMOR: | Character does NOT qualify for Item | Character qualifies for Item | Character qualifies for Item |
| Item has PREARMORPROF:1,Mithril Chainmail | c) Primitive item is Equipment, test effectively can be thought of as PREPROFICIENTWITHARMOR: | Character qualifies for Item | Character qualifies for item | Character qualifies for Item |
