The helpfiles aren't super clear, so hopefully some of you guys will be willing to help me out. The helpfiles suggest a savage ranger benefits from wearing little to no clothing, and is penalized while wearing metal armor. So should one be running around nude all the time? Or maybe all in leather/cloth armor? What kind of benefits do they get for not wearing armor?

Savage blow is a skill I can't seem to get to land. Even in my home terrain. Anybody know what things other than terrain affect this skill?

I can never tell exactly what entangle is doing, and how. Helpfile says its -dex, but is that only while they remain in combat/same room?

Warpaint gives me an echo that soandso is intimidated by my warpaint. Is this supposed to be a -cha affect?

Helpfiles suggest smearmud is a lag protection ability. Is this the only benefit to this skill?

Sorry for all the questions. Im a big noob and am trying to learn this class before I con die.
