Editing Blocking (section)

===== F: Hindrance =====

<pre>
 IF you are blocking with your hands, the hindrance values of your armor and robe (but not boots) are very important. 
 
 Hands give triple blocking per skill level at 0 hindrance, double blocking per skill level at 1 hindrance (e.g.  normal robe), the same blocking per skill level as other weapons at 2 hindrance (e.g. normal armor), and NO blocking gains at all per skill level at 3 hindrance (normal armor and normal robe). 
 
 At very low hand skill, it might be  helpful to wear hindering armor, but wearing it at higher hand skill will cripple you.
 
 Hindrance on boots appears only to affect jumpkick hit rate, afaik.
