"Shiny Plates"

[Pretentieux]

The Shiny Plates skill is not reflected on the stats screen. Is this skill actually functional? Things like this really need to be reflected in the UI.

Everything you see is functional unless otherwise stated by Keen.
The UI does not currently and/or actively determine the appropriate stat checks with the math. But the game mechanic math code checks out. So it should work despite not being able to see it in the UI.

Theoretically everything in the game works. XD
Not seeing it reflected in the UI is an indication that there might be a bug somewhere. Thanks for the clarification and for now I guess I will take your word for it.

It's hard to tell with that stuff as sometimes increasing your defence doesn't reduce the damage you take due to hard capped % which is intentional, making it pretty difficult to gauge how well your armour is actually performing.

So depending on your gear choices those skills might do absolutely nothing.

Does this perk work with mage armor? Like robes, cloth armor, etc?

[Pretentieux]

I'm not sure but it would be really easy to tell if the UI actually took this stuff into account. As it is now, the stats screen is *kind of* useless.
