If you want to break it down based on how the armor visually looks then yea it looks like plate just like rogue & shaman armor looks like plate.

When you look at it from an armor standpoint there is a break down where:

Warrior bp: 35 ac
SK/Pal BP: 30 ac
Cleric BP : 28 ac
Rogue, Shaman, Ranger: 26 ac



I am interested in the exp penalty breakdown though because what you are saying is that a racial/class penalty is the same sort of penalty you get from grouping with a higher level player.

I was under the impression the details were more complex than just saying, hey this guy has more total exp so he is higher level/has a penalty whatever therefor the other people get less.

That's correct, the penalty is the same.

Only total exp is consulted. Grouping with a level 50 iksar monk (44% penalty) is roughly the same as grouping with a lev 53 human cleric (0% exp penalty), at least as far as who gets how much of the groups exp is concerned.

The fresh dinged lev 50 monk would have 175 mill (base if no penalty) * 1.2 (iksar) * 1.2 (monk) = 252 million exp

The freshly dinged lev 53 human cleric would have roughly 253 million exp. (253m is the base exp for lev 53 without penalties)
