Research ResultsBlackscalesTall humanoid lizards with razor sharp claws, their name comes from their scales, which are a dark near black grey color, Blackscales have incredible night vision and natural skills at climbing and stealth.

Rationale: This is the first time designing a biological creature. It was also requested to add night vision, climbing ability, and stealth. These aren't too much to ask for, as they are all small buffs by comparison- the hardest one being night vision, and that still needs light to function, though a very small amount. Also, your home plane is almost completely dark. So there's that.
A biological creature is a novel concept in this realm, but it turned out well. Standing 6 feet tall, with sharp, wide-pupiled eyes, the lizards stand tall, their claws gleaming in the dim light and their grey-black scales comfortable against the hot sand of your home realm. They see very well in the dim light and shadow that covers your home, and can disappear into the dark with relative ease. Climbing should also be relatively easy for them- with their sharp claws and strong muscles, they should have a fair time of getting around, even loaded with armor.

One Handed Blunt WeaponsWarhammers, Maces & Clubs. Designed to break bones and inflict blunt trauma onto flesh. While not terribly effective against soft targets and requiring some measure of strength behind a blow to be effective, the ability to ignore 'hard' armour and break stiffer & more brittle materials isn't something to be underestimated. Typically made out of metal.

Rationale: This is your first time designing melee weapons, but it's not a hard job. Nice roll, btw.
You look over the plethora of weapons you have crafted. From one handed flanged maces to massive warhammers that the Blackscales will have trouble carrying, let alone wielding, you have a veritable armory on hand. The weapons can be made out of Bronze or Adamant, but given that bronze is heavier, your soldiers seem to do more damage with them in test combats. Adamant does make the two-handers lighter though. The weapon testing against hard armor goes well, and the blow is typically felt very well through hard shells and the like, so long as the soldier is able to swing properly.

Light Chainmail ArmourDesigned to be protective, easy to move around in and relatively plentiful supply for our forces. Consisting of a chainmail shirt & padded undershirt, metal helmet, leather gloves and boots. The arms and legs are covered by mere padded armour, enough to soften blows and keeping minor wounds from becoming too serious.
Easy, 2
Rationale: Your first time developing proper armor, but it's very simple.
The Adamant links flow like thick water in your grasp as you examine the chain shirt. The links are connected together beautifully, each ring welded together by divine power, the fit tailored to each different species of soldier. The padded armor is by comparison plain, simple layers of rugged cloth with leather bracing at points to protect the wearer. It is cheap but effective, and will serve as an excellent base for further, more comprehensive armor. In a boon to the designers, the bronze version of the chain shirt is not overly heavy, despite being twice the weight of its Adamant counterpart, due to the power-fueled welds and limited coverage.
