Glass sikes can indeed pierce through base quality clothes. It severed the spine of my test subject through a cloth cloak.

Quietust was doing research into the hardcoded pseudo-raw structure of glass in this thread. He found that at least some of the values for glass are uninitialized, meaning that they don't get cleared or set to anything in particular, so are essentially random.

Basically, each time you load up the game, all 3 glass types' MAX_EDGE and similar are set to whatever happened to be in an uncertain spot in memory at the time. As a result, glass's sharpness can range from as dull as cheese to as sharp as adamantine (and maybe sharper!). Due to that, it seems that glass trap components will usually be completely useless, but other times be the best weapons in the game.

...This should probably be mentioned on the wiki, actually.

On a side note, lolghurt, is your huge (over 3 megabytes) animated avatar really necessary?

That's interesting...

It almost seems like a good way to model the sharpness of glass.  Depending on how much wear and tear a specific glass edge has suffered, it might very well be razor-sharp or as dull as sand.

Finally someone points out that my avatar is unnecessarily large.
I'll change it is a bit.
