Not clear on the concept
« on: April 10, 2008, 12:21:00 am »
This is a Lead plate mail.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encrusted with Black zircon and encircled with bands of Iron and Pig tail.  This object menaces with spikes of Lead, turtle bone, and goblin bone.  On the item is an image of two mules in Moss opal.  On the item is an image of chipmunks in Andesite.  On the item is an image of a valley herb in Alder.

Lead plate reinforced with iron?

Also, heavy.
Also also, radiation resistant +++

and also highly toxic. Anyone wearing that is going to go nuts from lead poisoning as it kills/disrupts their nervous system. Er...  Well, they probably wont live that long anyways, so what the hell, why not!

Psh...They're dwarves. They're half-mad already. This just slows them down enough to let everyone else get out of their way.

The Romans got lead poisoning from using lead pipes and boiling juice in lead cauldrons to get lead acetate (sugar of lead)

Skin contact with lead is nowhere near as dangerous as ingesting lead!

At least the wearer will be safe when those goblins eventually nuke your fortress.

I forgot to also highlight the spikes of lead.

The neurotoxicity is really only going to show up if the wearer starts licking the armor.

Indeed, you don't really absorb much lead from skin contact. I think you could get away with wearing it for quite some time before it started to cause damage - years, at least.

Of course, if you started to eat it, or heat it up...

It could be the dwarf is a little crazy and thinks that a lead suit will prevent Dwarfy Mcdwarf from looking at it's undergarments with it's x-ray vision!

Dwarves might not be harmed by lead like we are, what with all the metalwork they do. Even so, that is still a strange artifact.

Also, constructed lead walls. I sense a new challenge idea.

The Dwarven Condom.  It's slightly more permanent than most.

Holy crap, I've got to make a fort with lead as the only metal, and try and get an adventurer to ecover it.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.
