What TYPE of wooden armor should jujufrobo make? Just a helmet? Breastplate? clogs? Whats the consensus, folks.

This

and may i say glyphgryph your art has improved immensely since you started this, jujufrobo is especially well drawn for such a wierd kobold-dwarf thing

[Sensei]

Yes- your artistic muscles are doing better for the exercise. Also, the wooden armor link is a 404...

Moldath> Tell Jujufrobo that you have to build a cage trap for the GCS before he finishes the bridge

...splinted armor.

oh please no, that stuff hurts, and provides very little protection

[buman]

wasn't splint mail the height of asian wooden armour tech?

splint mail refers to armour made of horizontal strips of material, not splints of wood, and the problem with it being that it doesnt sit right, the splint make it impossibel to lean in any direction without hurting yourself, or not being able to at all, plus, the fact that the bands are horizontal lessens their protection, most weapons attack in a horizontal arc to maximise hitting strength. Banded armour is far superior, as it allows ease of movement and strength whilst reducing weight

its prety hard to make out of wood with simple tools tho

Dwarfy!

Even more dwarfy would be to make something like below. Moldath would, of course, completely ignore the fact that he doesn't have the skill and that Jujufrobo says he's crazy. The final result would be a disaster.

Skill (and material) doesn't matter if it's made through a strange mood.

Moldath: I knew that cheese would be useful for something

a toga. yes, a wooden toga. and clogs, just because you mentioned them.

[ac31]

jokes aside, juju is a serious dwarf, hed make as much armour as he can, out of rectangular planks about an inch thick, including a helmet, and cuirass

no protection on the arms or legs because it would take too long

as for the design for the cuirass: i think this would be most efficient (though not effective)

[Grimlocke]

I vote for splinted mail, in the form of horizontal planks with holes in the side, trhough which their are tied together with rope, reed, werewolf sinew or whatever. Obviously this will only cover his from and rear torso, and he does not have the time or skill to make curved pieces of wood.
I dont realy see how he can possibly make a helm out of wood, but a shield would be a pretty good idea.

Realy though, wood is has a very limited usefulleness for armour. The best thing you can do with it is making it into shields, though even those arnt very effictive without metal or leather used. Its not like you can possibly make a set of gothic plate mail out of it.

Also, the armour should manace with spikes of cheese! I bet spiders realy hate biting dwarf cheese.

[Bloogonis]

I vote he make a Thor Mech out of screaming wood and stone gears!

Something like this would be more logical- large, flat plates that stick out rather than conform to the body. There's plenty of gaps to get through, but you can choose an angle to cover everything up if you use it right.

a wooden gauntlet that menaces with spikes of werewolf bone on the outside of the object. on the inside is some sticky berry juice to keep the gauntlet attached

[Hippoman]

GUYS! It's just armor! Don't need to get so technical! Just say, Wood breastplate and be done!

[skaltum]

but technical is kinda fun otherwse it could be any sort of wooden armor. a sock for example
