Display Penalties to Thieving Skills for Armors and Effective Thieving Skills

Thank you Devs for your attention to the little details that matter.

Currently the Elven Armors allow Thieving Skills in them, but have a hidden penalty to thieving skills. For example, Elven Chain, CHAN12.ITM has a -10% to Move Silently, -5% to Find Traps, -5% to Open Locks, -20% to Pick Pockets.

These penalties are not listed in the item description. Nor, is there any visible indication on the Character Screen that a penalty is present. If both the penalty description on the item, and the effective Thieving Skill would be displayed on the Character Screen, it would improve the player experience.

Thanks,

Bill

    That's wonderful! We need the other translations to do the same as well as alter the actual display on the character sheet.

    You should also look on:

    1) Hide armor
    2) Sylvan Chain
    3) Bladesinger Chain
    4) Aslyferund Elven Chain
    5) Drow Elven Chain

    Yes, English translation has all the labels at the right place, and (for that reason) I assumed that billbisco doesnt think English translation.

    Can I add one note to this? Armors that disable certain thieving skills, should actually state in the item description what thieving skills are disabled while equipped. This affects Thieves with Use any Item, Cleric/Thieves, Fighter/Thieves, and Rangers.

    Thanks,

    Bill
