Gameplay questions / Re: Winter Fur
« on: June 30, 2023, 06:07:38 AM »Fur armour makes sense, and yes especially bear fur with it's point resistance which can be otherwise hard to stack. But I don't really armour up for my everyday tasks anymore, except for the neck where mail cowl + fur hood is nice guarantee in case a wolf tries to stealth nibble you from behind (they always attack neck), which can be an unexpected instant death otherwise. If you are going out with intent to fight or hunt dangerous critters, then it's different.
What furs don't make much sense is warmth for winter wear, which is opposite of what one might expect.
My current setup is a 200lb guy who gets just barely under the 20lb limit with bear fur shirt, leggings, cowl, footwear and mittens plus woolen mittens and socks and leather belt... it does the job for everything but the absolute depth of winter.
Maybe if I was going for a hardcore winter outfit I'd layer wool on wool on linen or something? One of the things that's implied in the encyclopedia is that comfort affects the superstition state and linen helps with that. I wonder if there's any truth to that.
