Stone can be by dwarves…aka the race with a supernatural connection to stoneIs there a reason that wood cannot be made into armor but stone can?

If only there were fantasy heritages with magical connections to plants... hmm....Stone can be by dwarves…aka the race with a supernatural connection to stone
Hide. Not leather.2) Leather: WHAT!!? Wearing leather makes me bad at telling lies or detecting lies.....WHAT??? Let me think about....what!!!! Just no, flat no, hell no.
If they really do mean only Hide gets the penalty.... then that needs to be its own section. The section has a big bolded Leather on it....its very natural for someone to assume that the section expounds upon the title, especially since hide armor itself has no connection to the word leather. It would be very reasonable for someone to look up hide armor, go "ok let me see what hide does", find no title called Hide and go "ok I guess there are no special properties then".Hide. Not leather.
The descriptive section expresses that Hide is a form of untreated leather. Animal skins and the like, of course. And then while wearing Hide, rather than leather, you can't get the expertise dice while in Urban Environments. Because people look down their nose on your crude hide clothing.
Definitely agreed here. I'd be more inclined to say that adamantine can't get rusted or ripped into otherwise destroyed.Notes on the material section to hopefully help the playtest:
1) Adamantine: The mechanic of needing a short rest here with the armor is pretty narratively jarring. I could respect it if required "repair" before the anti-crit kicked in again, but just a short rest magically kicks the metal back into form....that's just too much narrative hand waving. I think we can do better. Maybe this should use some old mechanics, like on a crit a person needs to make another successful attack roll to actually hit you or something
It's specifically hide armor, not leather armor. But yeah, this is pretty dumb. I guess hide is supposed to look "barbaric" but these sort of penalties should be based on culture or background if they needed to be included at all. There's no reason for the base game to include them.2) Leather: WHAT!!? Wearing leather makes me bad at telling lies or detecting lies.....WHAT??? Let me think about....what!!!! Just no, flat no, hell no.
What's weird is that wood was used in armor. Usually in combination with leather or cloth. I'd probably treat it like bone armor, since wood splits.Is there a reason that wood cannot be made into armor but stone can?
I definitely feel like people aren't reading the thread.How about the Ranger?
