As an important feature of this mod, Fringe System are mostly based on monster body parts.
A Fringe could be attached to any melee weapon by putting in offhand slot, especially 2 handed weapons. They would offer Blocking ability like shields, for Paladins, they could also launch a Smite, even Holy Shield with Fringes, but no defense bonus for Holy Shield with a Fringe.
I am too lazy to offer the newly added FBR formula for 2 handed weapon’s block, you guys need to find it by yourselves.
Fringe types: Flag, Eye, Heart, Brain, Spleen, Horn, Fang, Jawbone, Quill, Tail, Ear, Scalp. All of them offering 1-5 Smite damage for paladins, and able to acquire different magic affixes depend on their types, mostly offensive ones, but also some shield specific ones such as Deflecting.
Flags would be the Fringe easiest to get, since you can by one from every vendor NPC with their names on it. For more Fringes, you need to collect them from monsters, norm, which means white, fringes would show the monster’s name it dropped from, yet those higher than magic ones won’t show that.
Fringes may have 1 slot, socketed gems would grant their weapon type bonus.
It is recommended that Fringes are better to work with 2 handed weapons, since their defensive stats are much lower than shields.
