[Ansteorra-archery] Armor Rule Change

[Talmon Parker]

    16 guage is 1/6th of an inch. If youve had that helm for 15 years and it 
still isn't dented too bad. I would think it's probably going to be ok.

                                           Besides you don't want those 
jokers hitting you in the soft spots.
                                                            Talmon
