Re: Defensive Skill

1.  I've been down for 5 days.  I have
160 messages to read.  I'll likely delete
most of the AQ mailing list ones.

2.  About the DV idea I suggested:

Ignore bonuses for special metals with regards
to defensive bonuses.  And, no, a Longsword
of Iron Defense doesn't add 1d4+2/F n to
DV's either.  Go with the current iron stats.

And a steel shield gives 4n and an adamantite shield gives 5n.
