[QUOTE="Creat, post: 2028137, member: 15038"] OK sorry, but that's just plain wrong and against the laws oh physics! The human skin has a certain resistance, you just need at least round about 60 Volts to pass it (and all vehicles use 12 (cars) or 24 (trucks) Volts for their devices as far as I know even in military vehicles). Even if you anchor your waches under your skin (ouch!) it wouldn't work cause you still need to complete the circuit, which means you need an entry and an exit point. So IF the watch would have a metallic or otherwise conducting connection to under the skin (where the blood would easily conduct it through the body) it would still have to get back out of your body on the other side, presumeably through the hand to the frame or another part connected to the negative pole of the battery but still through the skin! So unless you're incredibly unlucky and have a screwdriver sticking through your hand that's just not gonna happen. But my actual point why a lightnig is not such a great example is that it searches for its easiest way to discharge, if you want. The ray shot by this Psionic (I think?) is directed, which is against the laws of physics already all by itself. That's just not how electricity works... But I don't think that's helping to solve the problem anymore :) Patryn of Elvenshae: Yea actually that might be right, it would also work out with the weight of the chainshirt which is again 5 pounds heavier, so the remaining leather would've been replaced by steel (over all thinner steel I guess, the rivets seem to be more massive than the construction of a chainshirt). bye Creat [/QUOTE]
