[QUOTE="mach1.9pants, post: 7410474, member: 55946"] I'll disagree with that [encouraging fighting in no armour] because Conan fought in armour for battles whenever he could, from the Howard books I've read. The loincloth Conan maybe more a feature of the art of the 70s rather than the actual Howard stories - but I am no expert, just from what I've read, along with common sense! "...they brought harness to replace Conan's chain-mail –gorget, sollerets, cuirass, pauldrons, jambes, cuisses and sallet." The core book art has a wide range of armoured and unarmoured heroes, which I like. Someone sneaking to pickpocket with just clothes and dagger. EDIT in fact, looking over the code book to check out the art, man I love the art in this book so very realistic yet still awesome - totally heroic action shots based on reality. EDIT The barbarian class has the option of starting with just ragged furs, but I'm not sure how effective being unarmoured is in play - I've only read not played the game. [/QUOTE]
