After doing a search I couldn't find much solid information about savage rangers. Everything said seems to have another comment from someone else contradicting it.

What and how much can you wear before they start to loose bonuses from smear mud and warpaint? Do certain armors matter more than others or is it just how many armor slots are empty? Like would it hinder as much to wear a belt as it would a chest armor? Does wearing treasures like rings/necklaces have more/less/no effect? Would bearcharge be a waste of practice? Is there any situation where bearcharge would lag more than savage blow? I've heard people say in game they do more damage with non-metalic weapons. Is this true?
