This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Arrows of Indra's setting is a society that's in a state of transition; the default equipment is iron, but steel is beginning to make an appearance; the equipment section allows for the purchasing of steel weapons in certain places.

Likewise, because there's shitloads of ancient ruins and treasure hordes, its possible to end up obtaining bronze items, even though these aren't really produced for sale anymore.

What differences does Arrows of Indra have between the three types of weapon/armor?
When I say objectively, I mean \'subjectively\'.  When I say literally, I mean \'figuratively\'.  
And when I say that you are a horse\'s ass, I mean that the objective truth is that you are a literal horse\'s ass.

Bronze armor is slightly poorer AC, Bronze weapons have a penalty to their damage and their modifiers "to hit vs. AC", steel weapons have a bonus to their damage and "to hit vs. AC" mods.

I bring this up from time to time, but anyone who wants some background on Bronze age Europe and the Med should read this book Europe Between the Oceans. A basic knowledge of archaeology would probably be helpful, but I'm pretty sure you could get most of what you need clarified via wikipedia and google searches. Anyway, it's a fucking great read.
