Anyone know if this is actually tougher than bovine leather?
I'm not sure if it's tougher at the same thickness, but I know that the thickness of a rhino's skin ranges between 1 1/2 cm (beneath the horn and along parts of the belly) to 5 cm (atop its head). I'd imagine it'd make quite a tough armor - though a bitch to tan, and too rigid to be worn around the joints by a human who hopes to /move/. Alternately, you could make a vest out of its belly leather and a helmet out of the skin of its head. -- JL Hatlen Linnell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
