Not a rant, no worries, just something that came to mind upon starting to read Thud:
Not to say this is foreshadowing or something, but Pepe's great invention saves the wearer from impact-damage and redirects the force back at the attacker. And because Micromail is so light and 'doesn't chafe' it allows the wearer to move faster.
It's just a musing, but it strikes me as odd as to why someone who counts himself as a dwarf and has the attitute of knowing life better than anyone else would create something with these properties if it is just there to look pretty.
The pretty look and the 'no chafe' I could understand.
But creating something for dwarves that protects them from impact damage, as in the damage usually coming from troll attacks...
Just musing as said....
