ABS vs. AF
Can anyone explain the difference between ABS and AF to me? I have done a search on the web and have not been able to find out what these two things mean... except that they have to do with armor and AF is listed as an integer and ABS is listed as a fraction.

Thanks!

Re: ABS vs. AF
This is my understanding of it...

ABS is the percentage of damage that an armor type absorbs. For cloth its zero, for leather 10%, studded 19%, Chain 27%, Plate 34%. Damage from melee attacks are basically reduced by the abs %, I think this happens before other factors like resists are applied but I am not sure about that.

AF is your armor factor rating. Its also factors into how much damange you take, higher AF is better and will reduce melee dmg, but I am not sure exactly how the damage calculation takes AF into account.

ABS vs. AF
This was taken from this link:
www.winterwolves.org/Stats.htm#_Armor

Armor

1. Chance of being hit in a particular area - 40% Torso, 25% legs, 15% arms, 10% head, 5% hands, 5% feet.- Grab Bag 3/7/03

2. AF Formula: The AF of your target is: Effective AF = Listed AF * Quality * (1 + (absorb * quality)) For total AF you multiply the AF formulae results by 6.(assuming all pieces are same AF and quality)
