Armor absorption/damage ratio

FWIW, I've changed the tailor code to alter the weight of all items that are tailored in ratio to the new size.  See help size for a relative list of sizes.

Wow...just, wow. I never even thought about this, but now that you mention it, that makes perfect sense. Thanks a ton for this little change. It should definitely help.

It really sucks for the people who started young and lived to maturity, though. The stats you get when rolling up an adult are not the stats you get when living through to adulthood.

This is a derail, so I'll stop this here, but personally, I think that the coded bonuses/penalties for age should automatically happen as your character ages, regardless of what age he/she was when he/she was created.  If this already happens, well, color me surprised, but if it doesn't, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't.

There was a point where the staff said these would happen automatically, but I don't think they do. I've never seen a stat budge and I haven't heard of it happening, either.

It sure seems like a bug. I would love to see this fixed.

I put in a request on the matter with a long lived PC and was told it was auto...But, If it was that PC should have seen a change when I put in the request. I've also never seen a change or heard of anybody else ever seeing a change.

I've had two pcs live from "young", to "adult", to "mature" and I've never seen a stat change.

Thank you Morgenes. That is awesome.

and so it came to pass that the 4th of july was the day that the average size of zalanthan human warriors went from 78 inches to 63 inches

I'm just kidding, great change, I think it's good that the combat-related code is finally getting some serious attention
