Re: The Point Always Beats the Edge Revisited and MA-compatible
I am not sure what historical analog (if any) the Basic Set was using for "Studded Leather Skirt". Being that it is listed as flexible I bet the authors had in mind something more similar to the AD&D fantasy armor description. I think it is ambiguous. So it is an open judgment call on what someone interprets that to be.

Re: The Point Always Beats the Edge Revisited and MA-compatible
What about the "feathers" worn by greek hoplites, for example? Some of those certianly look to be leather or cloth with decroate metal panels. That's what I usually think of. But I don't think of studded leather much anymore.
I always thought split DRs for armours is great. I don't know if I care for the finer weapons distinctions, but that's may just be my desire for convience over finer resolution. I don't work too hard to make an axe a more potent weapon, because I already find them to be particularly potent. A fine Axe does Sw+3 cut, and I think that fairly allows the axe do more damage than a broadsword of the same cost. This revision of yours, Icelander, leaves a much better taste in my mouth than the last one, with the various armour divisors. Technically, I know they're there. |
