>>Honestly, I'd rather have a damage reduction ability than armor stealth hinderance reduction.
QFT. And dampen works as a name :-)

>>how about making it both hindrances... that would essentially give us a damage reducer.
We already have an evasion booster and general defense booster. Also since "to hit" and damage calculations were divorced a hindrance booster would not give us a damage reducing ability. It'd be another avoidance ability.

Not remotely the same, given how vitality and damage reduction abilities function in 3.0. Hinderance reduction is useless compared to a damage reduction ability, especially given the new crafting paradigm, where we are supposed to use armor more customized for our level.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 1834.

I'd be way happier with Dampen actually reducing damage by dampening it. Quick redo of code and the name still works perfect. We don't have slick spells and we're usually wearing the lighter armor so reducing damage would be more beneficial to most thieves. I'm sure some out there want to hide in HP better but I'm guessing those are few.
I don't think I'd ever use Dampen as a stealth hindrance reducer outside of the requirement for the Skulk combo on stealing runs.
My stealths have outclassed everything I've hunted since I rolled a thief. If there is a time I absolutely need to be stealthy then its better for me to just remove said armor. Maybe if it allowed me to steal unhindered while wearing armor then I could possibly see it being useful to me.
As a damage reducer I'd pretty much use it anytime I hunted.
