RQ2 preview?

I see the linen armor is still here. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, judging by the picture I imagine it's still going to be 3points of armor.
Linen armour has been reintroduced partly as a nod to Chaosium's RQ2, and partly because it has a place in the hotter places of Glorantha.

Why is cloth armor worth so many points? I feel as though I'm missing something.
Because is was formed from many layers of laminated or quilted fabric.

Quilted fabric has been a staple armour for warriors across many cultures throughout history, and is excellent protection.
 
judging by the picture I imagine it's still going to be 3points of armor.

Ff the soft leather starts at 1 and it increases as you follow the pictures over to plate

we have:
soft leather 1
hard leather 2
linen 3
ring 4
scale 5
chain 6
plate 7

Of course we could have overlapping armor values again so plate may not go all the way up to 7.

PS. Thanks for the link Pete
 
And what makes you think that the different armour types increase by 1 AP as they move along that picture?

Hint - they don't (quite) :wink:

Ohh, a competition! :D

Right, then, here's my guess:

soft leather 1
hard leather 2
linen 3
ring 4
scale 5
chain 5
plate 6
