Hmm. I seem to recall seeing someone remark that this was how RQ did it. Can't say I'm entirely happy with the proposal; partly for the book-keeping, which seems to go against the grain of HW's looseness, and secondly becuase I can't really see how wearing iron armour protects you from magic, but I'm a newbie so what do I know. Anyway, rather than have a table of modifiers, why not use the Edge rating of carried iron? Edge x 10 if necessary?
