Alright. Here's my dilemma. I'm starting play in a Dark Sun game rather soon and I've come across a conundrum. Metal is inherently worse than the other materials you can make weapons/armor out of as far as I can tell.
Metal weapons function as normal.
Bone/obsidian/other materials function as metal but also have the weapon breakage rule.
Chitin/horn/bone armor functions as Metal armor.
Metal armor grants a -5 to your survivability in Athas.
What reason is there to wear metal armor or use a metal weapon when the "lesser quality" materials help you out more or hinder you less?
