Biped Object

General Notes

The Biped Object is the name that refers to which parts of the body a particular piece of Armor will cover. They are often also called Slots or Nodes.

• An NPC has a limited number of Nodes that can be filled by one piece of armor at a time. ie. As rings use Node 36, then only one ring can be worn at a time. Equipping a ring will first unequip any ring currently on the same Node.
• A piece of armor may occupy several Nodes.

The Default Race

Playable armor always uses the default race. Humanoid races share most of the same Nodes.
