Bone Armor

Postby Divit » Wed Aug 18, 2010 7:52 pm

Sooo...

I know this is a bit strange. But I've been playing with the Idea of making bone armor out of a few of the bones I've found over the years. I've talked to a number of people about it and gotten responses ranging from "creepy" to "COOL!" to "not sure if you will be able to make it legal..."

So I thought I would put this here to get everyone's input. The only concern I've really heard raised is weather it will be breakable or not. Also would heralds consider bone in itself to be "armor grade".

So far I fooled around with using bits of vertebrae with the sharp bits filled down, as well as using some ribs to make some composite armor with. So... do you guys see any pitfalls / have any objections / know of any good ways to clean bone?

This has been covered extensively. Do a search for bone armor and you can probably find the answer to any/every question you'd ever have.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off as upset about the whole thing. It was more of a 'There's already the information out there that you're looking for. A search should turn it up.'

btw... a quick hint... since most BB search functions are not all that great you can go to google and type:

<your search parameters> site:board.belegarth.com

and get a very good search result...

or the snarky and obnoxious way
