Anyway, even if chainmail was not the most effective armor in the world, I'm sure you'd rather wear it in a combat setting than having only leather. And you really shouldn't let the spear come in direct contact with your chest or stomach either. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, October 22 2006 20:15 Profile Homepage #26 Armor wasn't actually that heavy and the weight was distributed well. Armored men were no more interested in dying of immobility than anyone else. Besides, with a large enough visor and a shallow enough puddle you could keep your mouth clear of the water even when stuck face-down in the mud. —Alorael, who imagines that knights probably could and did suffer nasty bruises from falling over, though. Getting wet would just be one more indignity. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Monday, October 23 2006 20:14 Profile #27 I doubt there are any real records of knights drowning in puddles besides the sickened and drunk ones. After all, I couldn't possibly conceive of someone being effective in a fight to the death if they could not get back up after tripping over. Sadly, though, very young toddlers sometimes drown to death after slipping into shallow puddles because they're arms are not strong enough to perform a push-up. It's a rare but tragic way to die. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.
