: Some of you were wondering whether Alric's armor has any
: connection to the legendary magical armor buried in
: the East, or to Balor's armor. GURPS says that Alric's
: armor was provided by the Heron Guards, who enchanted
: it with the same spell of damage resistance that Jman
: coats (according to GURPS) are toughened with.

Hmm. Another reason I'm not thrilled with GURPS. Jmen (and therefore Heron Guard) don't use magic, they really, really, really don't use magic, the healing thing is a religious thing we're told (like Clerical magic in D&D, as much as I hate to make the connection)... and yet they know this one incredibly useful spell that makes absolutely no sense. The damage resistance thing (to me) makes much more sense if it's based on the thickness of the furs rather than some bizarre, half-arsed magic. I don't buy this "enchantment" at all.
