I agree, it's quite nice. :) One suggestion, though - maybe you should count the leather apron as a buff jacket? The smith's aprons I've seen have certainly been thick enough to have some protective qualities. - [[David.]] | I agree, it's quite nice. :) One suggestion, though - maybe you should count the leather apron as a buff jacket?

I agree, it's quite nice. :) One suggestion, though - maybe you should count the leather apron as a buff jacket? The smith's aprons I've seen have certainly been thick enough to have some protective qualities. - David.
- That is not a bad idea. Soak is definitely an issue for him. I had intended to give him some of the bone armor Charms out of the Resistance tree, but the necromancy took up all my efforts. That's something to think about, no question... - Hapushet
