Halfling Cleric Cultural

[zegophon]

I have a halfling cleric, and was thinking of making some cultural for him, but the recipes only show for DRU, RNG and PAL. Does Halfling Cleric cultural armor not exist?

I did a search on the message base and didn't see an answer. Forgive me if this is answered somewhere else.

Have a look in the General forum... there is a stickied topic called 'who can wear what' which will tell you... who can wear what I would link it but I am in the middle of a CH chain atm

Dwarves make the Cultural Armor that Halfling Clerics wear, go figure.

Mischievous(?) is for Bristlebane Followers and Underfoot is for Brell followers (I think). Go to the Dwarf Cultural section then click on the stats page and scroll down lots

Only other alternative is PoP smithed armors. Night Terror Plate is not so bad but Dwarven Cultural is better I think from memory.

Nightmare is better than the Original Dwarven cultural but Worse than the Blue Diamond Dwarven Cultural.

Nightmare is also worse than HOT armor but better than Thurg armor if I am remembering correctly.

Thanks for the responses...

... at least my halfling ranger will be able to make stuff for himself... =) Don't have a spare dwarf around to GM Smithing in, heh. Guess I'll have to advertise.

interesting perception

i find that the only thing BD cultural has on nightmare plate is AC. none of the racial BD lines have anything even close to the statistic/resist spreads of Nightmare and elemental smithed armors. I for one feel trading a few AC for 2-7 more stats/resists is quite acceptable, as do some of my buyers. additionally, the armor fulfils a wider appetite (you can retwink it easily, due its lack of deity/race restrictions)

Nightmare Plate BP:
45ac (not the best) but:
DEX 12, STA 2, WIS 5, INT 8, AGI 8, HP 40, mana 35, sv magic 10

Mischievous Plate Breastplate
AC 51 (ok, 6ac better) but
DEX 5, STA 5, WIS 10, HP 40, mana 40

so, i guess it could be argued that the MPB is better for a cleric (more wisdom, 5 more mana) but the NPB gives MR and more physical stat spreads than the MPB (7 more dex, 8 more agi, -3stam) and gives Int (for SKs, my biggest buyer of these). so they are pretty much comparable, and depending on target audience each one excels the other.
