RM now much clearer
Thanks to Laura Creighton at !utzoo, the whole business of metal
and magic users becomes clearer. The AD&D rule is quite clear with res-
pect to human MU's. NO *ARMOR*. However, it doesn't say *no metal*.
I have the 1978 edition of the AD&D Player Manual which makes the whole
issue clear on page 25 b para 2 last sentence "Furthermore, they can wear
no armor and have few weapons they can use..."
This has nothing to do with the fact that metals kill off their
magic, but rather that regular MU's are non-combatants when it comes to
physical weapon slinging. TSR makes it that MU training is mutually
exclusive with military disciplines. And then there are clerics...
