Re: Catastrophic failure of armor
Quote:
Any historian or armoured fighter can give you a dozen examples of low-tech armour which partially failed against a muscle-powered attack, leaving the wearer wounded but less badly than if he had been naked. So I don't think it works well as a general rule, and I certainly have not seen any experiments which suggest it for muscle-powered weapons versus felt and cloth and raw fibres and leather and plate.
