How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Plate against Robe to see the 30 to 5 gap. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Stamina and Essence penalties ride with weight and are noted but not converted. Workbench quality lifts ADR only, so plus zero is used for all rows. Shields lack a Body Armor DR row and are left out. Omitted: clothing with 2 percent rows, which read as town clothes, not rated armor. ADR climbs with quality while DR percent holds flat in every class.
