Does Evasion work in heavy armors?

    Just wondering. I'm considering a Gnome Fighter/Thief tank with the heaviest armor I can get my hands on, a Shield, and (hopefully) being able to Evade fireballs, lightning bolts, and other nasty stuffs.

    *blink* IWD has evasion?

    Hmm, maybe not since you can't use your thieving skills while wearing heavier than studded leather armor.

    I won't be able to find out for you by hacking the game resources. The easiest way to find out is to use the console to level your gnome up to the point where he gets evasion and then start throwing fireballs at him. That said, I believe evasion will work just fine in heavy armor. The readme didn't say anything about it not working.
    If you plan on doing this, I reccomend installing the thieving in heavy armor component from G3 tweaks. It allows you to use thieving abilities in heavy armor, with severe penalties, as per AD&D 2e.

    Just a little update here: Evasion does in fact work with heavy armor.
