[Rq-rules] Mask virtue of (rune metal ) + chainmail

[Bjorn Stolen]

>I was, of course, being silly.
Why? I thought that your question was a good one. I agree that the intention 
from the ones making the enchant-metal-spell-ruless and armor-rules probably 
fealt that it went without saying that a mail made of enchanted 
iron/enchanted bronse or what not probably was what you write here:
>....a "special" linkthat holds the enchantment together....


>I prefer the "Enchant Metal" spellto be part of the forging process.
that's how I see it as well, but I allso like the idea that the enchantment 
is linked to runes as well, and that's where the dilemma comes when 
conserning mail; the 20.000 rings are forged seperately....

Personally I see it as like putting up a computer-network with the runes 
working like client, slave and master-stations; perhaps one dominant 
mail-ring providing "support" for client-rings around it (perhaps pr. enc?) 
That way a 3 enc enchanted-iron-mail wouold consist of 3 dominant rings 
covering 1/3 of the rest of the rings which allso do have a little 
rune-perhaps stanced into them? That way, you don't have to re-enchat the 
entire enchantment if some of the mail is ruined, and if you wish to repair 
the mail with somthing that isn't enchated, or enchanted with another 
metal-that could cover that bit of the mail!

There is no reason for anybody to come up with detail rules for exactly how 
this is done (that could be up to the individual GM's /playgroups). :-)
