I know the Boots table is very similar to the Gloves table, but the two are indeed very similar. Also, I went to a website and it said that there are Plate Boots, which are Greaves without any requirements. Please e-mail cwason@charlyw.freeserve.co.uk if you have any information on them. (sorry about the overhang there on the e-mail address)

WAIST ARMOUR\BELTS Trouserdoofers

Again, not quite in order of quality, becuase Battle\Heavy Belts can be better than War\Plated Belts (though they rarely are)

Light Belt               2-4

*Battle Belt*            37-42
*War Belt*               40-50

The Good Guys:


ALL ACTS Burningdockdoofers

Amazon: Amazons are good at both ranged and melee attacks. They have skills to do with bows, javelins, spears, and even other Amazons (like Valkyrie). I personally don't get along with them too well, but if you can get the balance between melee and ranged attacks right you will make a formidable fighter.

Barbarian: My personal favorite, the Barbarian is a primitive sort of fellow. A bit like a Paladin, he can do aura-a-likes (shouts) for a limited time, is skilled with all melee weapons (except daggers), has VERY useful passive abilities (for one skill point you can up your defence by 30%, or your Resistances by 25%) and can hold two weapons at once. He can also hold two-handed swords in one hand (my baba has a yellow Ancient Sword and a yellow Sword in the other). He is about one thing mainly though: Hitting Things Very Hard.

Necromancer: Necromancers have an army to command, some spells, and the ability to weaken an enemy. I love to have them in my clan, as they overwhelm in number. However, I don't like to play as them as they are a bit frail, the armies get in their way, and the first few spells are useless. But many people find this the easiest character to play as, and I say rock on to them.
