Protection? Manual, page 75

[happygeek]

Sorry, just want to make sure I understand:
The bottom line is the manual is outdated? There are no hit locations calculated? 20% of the value for "head armor" protection is taken and added to total protection?
I just want to see if some head armors are worth it -- if they say "protection: 20 (head)", that means it adds 4 to prot value, or what?
thank you

Sombre answered your question, but I want to stress one point. The head is still a valid hit location, so head armor (AKA a helmet) is quite worthwhile. For example, one of the weaknesses of Lanka's otherwise-outstanding Palankasha troops is the lack of helmets. Big, scary sacred demon-ogres that can be dropped by a lucky sling bullet (or whatever) to the head.

Practice "safe" Dom3: Wear a helmet!
