[Ansteorra-rapier] AND (was: Re: Cloak play question)

[James Crouchet]

I forgt ot add:

You can thrust through your cloak with your weapon. It is ok if you let
go of your cloak in the process.

While we are talking about cloaks, what do you think of an "armor as
worn" type rule allowing a cloak wrapped around the arm to be treated as
armor?
