Er, I missed this thread and only seem to have been included on this
particular message. Could someone bring me up to speed?

I'm one of them. I'm uncertain what the above percentage represents. Why is
building a lot of armour a problem? You can only wear one at a time. You
want a way to stop a blacksmith from cranking a lot of armour out ahead of
time and selling it? Measurements. Most armour (at least the high end
stuff) has to be custom fitted. This means an armourer has to build a suit
of armour to fit a *specific person*, who will likely only want to buy one
suit. He CAN crank out a lot, but it will only fit one guy.

The time limit on armour makes sense. A *real* armourer would have to sit in
the forge for weeks making the suit, which could be dull for a player.
Still, maybe the player has to forge it piece by piece, so that he actually
feels like he's making it incrementally.

How's this;
-Monsters are *there* to be killed; weak monsters are easily killed but
breed like crazy, strong monsters are rare, but REALLY tough.
-Regular animals are there for food and pelts. We might want to have
druid-like characters (such as the Valun) who actively discourage people
from over hunting.
-Killing humans is just bad news. Kill a random human and you're a murderer
and will be treated as such. Humans can only be killed during wartime or in
self-defense without these repercussions.
