Is Armor granted by spells reduced if you have already hit the softcap? - Positive diverse women in casual clothes playing billiard together in spacious room in club in daytime

I am only Level 7 with my Orc Dragonknight, but I have already hit the soft cap for armor:

Now I can morph an ability to an extended version, which would grant me even more armor on activation:

My question is if that additional armor would be reduced by the softcap and if you hit this said softcap that easy on max level too.

Best Answer

Of course. All effects should be affected by soft caps (unless stated otherwise; so it's less effective since you're already at the cap).

I think this variant is a lot more interesting if you're not relying on heavy armor (i.e. if you're wearing a possible mix or maybe even only light/medium armor).
