```Originally Posted : Thu Nov 05 00:46:19 2026 <br>Posted by : Wildcat <br>Title : Armour wear rules and PK checks cleaned up <br>----------------------------------------<br>Armour now decides who can wear it from one shared set of rules (race, <br>class and subclass), instead of an old hard-coded list of class numbers. <br>All three armour bases (/obj/armour and both gen_eq armour inherits) use <br>it. For every character with a current subclass nothing changes: the same <br>characters were checked before and after and got identical answers for <br>every armour type, metal or not.<br><br>Characters without a current subclass now follow their class's armour <br>rules instead of the old per-class list, which refusd dragons, fey, <br>monsters and horrors almost everything. Beginners follow their race's <br>rules as before.<br><br>Fixed: checking whether you could wear an armour could leave the game <br>treating you as the current player after the check (a stray this_player). <br>Wizards can now wear any armour, as they can already wield any weapon.<br><br>PK: the Spy-vs-Spy rule and the Chaosmage exceptions (may attack <br>immortals, ignores PK OFF) now live in the Spy and Chaosmage subclass <br>shadows instead of being hard-coded in the player object. The rules <br>themselves are unchanged. Players pick this up on their next login.<br><br>Armour items already loaded keep the old check until they are reloaded or <br>the next reboot.<br> ```<br><br>[[Category:Changes_Board]]
