Talk:Ceramic Plate (5e Equipment)

Design

Objects do have their own hit point amounts and it doesn't quite make sense that this would only break based on taking pretty high differing amounts of damage based on your level, the armor doesn't magically get stronger the higher level you are. Based on this, I believe perhaps going the route of the what the padded cloth armor and cloth armor may be a good alternative. --Blobby383b (talk) 09:15, 23 December 2021 (MST)

This is really cool, but being vulnerable to fire is weird since terracotta is known for being heat resistant. If anything, I would add fire to the damage immunities and perhaps make it vulnerable to thunder. --Malachai (talk) 09:49, 23 December 2021 (MST)

I put fire vulnerability on there because in my experience, making terracotta too hot tends to make it explode. Endermage77 (talk) 09:53, 23 December 2021 (MST)

If it explodes in a kiln, it's because it wasn't fully dried and trapped moisture was boiled. Otherwise, it should be very heat resistant. --Malachai (talk) 09:58, 23 December 2021 (MST)

Realized this reads rather condescendingly with the "proper"s, I apologize. It is an easy mistake to make as it can appear bone dry while still trapping moisture. --Malachai (talk) 10:34, 23 December 2021 (MST)

Speaking of damage types ceramic would be resistant to/unaffected by, acid is one such damage type. --ZarHakkar (talk) 18:13, 31 January 2022 (MST)
