[Elfsea] Armor & Gear

As you are admitting to being Bjorn's son and
knowing Bjorn from way back, your questions are
not stupid. At least compared to Bjorn. 

1. There is no requirement as to materials. Nor
is it in the rules that it survive combat. 
I would recommend that it survive for that is a
lot of work to have destroyed so quickly. 
The rules (simplified) require that it not have
projections, and that it not damage weapons that
hit it.

2. No
