The only one it doesn't seem to work for is spiked plate... not sure why... the feat is there... the arSpiked just doesn't seem to show up from the feat

The files to edit are thing_armory.dat, and the ddi_armor.user
thing_armory.dat has the mappings from Armor to Proficiency. ddi_armor.user has the armors themselves. In essence, remove the tag for ArmorType from the armor, because they are special armors, the armor tag effecitvely makes them count as (for things like the advanced plate and chain armors that come at higher levels) then fix the Armor Proficiency for Spiked Plate by editing thing_armory.dat and changing the armor apSpiked is for from arSpikePl to arSpikePla Working on Twilight 2000 4e HL System |

FWIW, I put an update out last night that should fix this issue. It shows the updated date, but for some reason didn't flag as new for me... not sure why

I'd don't know why, I don't have 4e installed (I hate it with a passion), but it came up and wanted me to patch. Also, when I did, it informed me that it wanted to install over a newer version of HL . . . which it should never do and I declined.

I don't have that level of access to put out a new patch for anything more than the 4e ruleset.

One of my group pointed out the 4e update, since I'm the maintainer of the modified files we've done to fix a couple things (some of which you may have already addressed in this update, like the other Armor Proficiency Feats not properly enforcing their own pre-reqs) so I'll be downloading it and doing file compares come Monday. So at least some people are being notified.
The Spiked thing is--odd. |

I tracked down the Spiked Plate... it was an oddity in the naming of the Armor Proficiency vs the Armor itself... Once I found the file, and made the adjustment it was good too.

Cool. Did you happen to notice that for some reason the Spiked Shield is listed as an Armor rather than a Shield Proficiency?

All the shields are armor proficiencies... it's the same problem though... Barbed Shield is classed as a Heavy Shield... remove Armor Type for the shield, and change it's item id to arBarbShi which is what the armor proficiency gives you access to.

Actually, the other shields are listed as Shield Proficiency: [Whatever], as is the Barbed Shield in Mordekainen's; the effect is pretty much the same, but if someone looks for it, they're probably going to look under Shield Proficiency instead of Armor Proficiency. That's just a use and nomenclature thing, though, so I'll just fix it myself.
