Tell you what. Let's properly suit you up in full armor and stand out in a lightning storm. Tell me how well that logic works for you. xDDD

It's magic lightning. Assume metal armour conducts.

Technically it is a conductor in parallel with a human body. And when resistance on the conductor is zero compared to the human body, it'll go through there instead of the human body.

The insulator part is there to ensure it goes through the conductor, and the metal isn't directly into touch with the human body neither... armors do have PADDING, which has AIR, an insulator.


The body isn't hermetically sealed in the padding. There are plenty of places in the armor where it directly contacts the skin. I'm not saying that the majority of the energy might not pass through, but when you're talking about a bolt of lightning, even a fraction of it's power can be severely damaging. The steel can only conduct so much electricity before it starts to flow over.

Yep, but it's not impossible to soak a javelin in full armor and just be wound up /pissed off instead of dead dead.

Remember that this is also combat magic, designed specifically to kill knights in full armor. I doubt they'd overlook something like power output.

Bah. Magic.

Crossbow bolts do the same. With less whatchamalit.

A whole part of this fantasy setting, magic exists and by that magic rules exist.

Marianne's spells aren't exactly like true lightning bolts, otherwise she'd die just from casting it once for any number of reasons. xD So, think of it more as magic with the lightning element to it.

crossbow bolts bounce off of metal, not sink into.

I know, i was just being silly, and saying that if electricity worked like IRL it'd bypass rather than pierce. :P

@chukklehed Some crossbows can, they can have metal heads aswell.

In a fantasy setting, it's really up to you, in terms of what you think looks more awesome: Bolts or arrows sticking out of armor, or bouncing off.

Hmm. I'll be honest, I'm tempted to post again to get everyone split up quickly. I'm not sure I should yet though, but hmm.

@harinezumikouken Oh yeah, Marianne is probably aware of who Merilia is. She's one of those lot who has a painting on the wall (basically picture the character appearance as a portrait) and is still alive.

She just happens to be nowhere near the knights or, probably, Thaln for now.

Clearly she's up in Velt flirting with a certain paladin I mean what.
