Armors - test, conclusion and proposals

[MrDDT]

Bone armor's only downfall shouldn't be that it is heavier. I get what you are saying though. Bone armor will be used by heavy infantry to defend or attack a city. PKers probably don't want to be using a full bone set because it takes up 1/4 encumberance on a player with max base combat stats (90,90,90). It's far too easy to run away for that to be effective.

No, there should be many factors into all armor.
Cost, Weight, Effectiveness, Looks, etc.

Like Bone armor are much harder to make with skills, and its much harder to get bones to make them, its also heavy, they also might decay faster than say leather.

Who knows all those are factors that need to be balanced out.

Grass armor is light, very cheap to make, very fast to make, and doesnt need a lot of skills (and the skill is very easy to train). Thus the protection is very low.
