Im ok with armor that grants magic resistance.

I tired an idea in our DF Game a while back where there was an orcish armorer selling unusual leather armor for an exorbant price that would give either +3 to stealth (Forest Only), or +1 Magic Resistance. When they found out it was tanned Elf and Dwarf hide the players thought it was a bit morbid for a DF game, so we ditched it after that plotline wrapped up. But they did consider buying it....very carefully.

Now that it comes to mind, do Minotaurs react negatively to anyone in leather? Do they look at people wearing leather with the sort of horrific contempt that we (as humans) view people that have "gorilla-hand" ashtrays? Do they view hamburger/steak with the same quesiness that we view "bush meat" ?
