Klyros wips

Plates as in \'sheets that cover\', more or less.

While I can\'t neccissarily say why THEY used them, I can explain my own usage:  While smaller scales are very useful at the joints and regions of muscle movement, large plates are going to be better at defense, and won\'t hinder you if place on the few areas of the body that have little movement (essentially, the parts of the limbs where you generally have very little between skin and bone, meaning that there\'s not much muscle bulge).

The design tends to stem from various sorts of more modern style leather armor (seen in sci fi and such), though you can also see the like in some clothing styles I\'ve seen, usually for bikers and such.

If nothing else, picture, if you will, the difference between a snake\'s underbelly and the rest of its surfaces.

Alright, I see what you mean. However, it doesn\'t seem to be the case in PS, since the places are very odd IMO. I\'d expect things like that in the nonmoving regions, like the breast and back, but not on the arms and throat, which are required to be flexible.
The only thing I can think of is that these aren\'t plates, but in fact are skin. However, if it is, it isn\'t necessarily serving a purpose, so maybe there will be skins with other properties, like the one having the red spots (I like that one very much, except for the exposed muscles ). Maybe that could be used on the arms instead?

True.  They seem to have it fairly opposite my own designs.

Clearly, they should have consulted me first.

...Actually, considering the many classical fantasy races, they probably would have made great use out of my own slightly more original, but still easy-enough-to-empathize-with races...

...But they wouldn\'t be able to pay me for it anyways, so in the book it stays, muhahahaha...

....

Ahem.

Somewhat related.. I really do hope they more strongly define the klyros..., both in appearance and society.  They\'re fun to roleplay, but I\'d hate to be wrong in what I say.
