===New Material: [[Shadarl]]===
Why do rogues prefer leather armor? It's made of hides. New material teased by GM Xynwen: [http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Paid%20Events:%20Adventures,%20Quests,%20and%20SimuCoins/Rumor%20Woods/view/921 Official Forum Post]

Black as pitch, shadarl has the unusual property of absorbing both light and sound. While this absorption is not complete, it is enough to grant a stealthy adventurer an edge over his prey. One unfortunate side effect of this is that shadarl often disrupts spellcasting by absorbing words and sound before they even leave the wearer's mouth.

* rare and restricted
* used only for leather armor
* has a slight spell hinderance
* improves the wearer's stalking and hiding bonus
* cannot be dyed

New Material: Shadarl

Why do rogues prefer leather armor? It's made of hides. New material teased by GM Xynwen: Official Forum Post

Black as pitch, shadarl has the unusual property of absorbing both light and sound. While this absorption is not complete, it is enough to grant a stealthy adventurer an edge over his prey. One unfortunate side effect of this is that shadarl often disrupts spellcasting by absorbing words and sound before they even leave the wearer's mouth.

  • rare and restricted
  • used only for leather armor
  • has a slight spell hinderance
  • improves the wearer's stalking and hiding bonus
  • cannot be dyed
