The Praetorian of Inwit Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Are there different types of human skin? Would some skin be better for stretching? Would some absorb fluids better? This is all hypothetical still. Just curious. I'm not an expert in skin (yet).

Two types, and both can be found on every human; Hairy and hairless, with hairless being the thicker of the two, but not enough to differentiate too much. And in general, out of setting, human skin is too thin for any practical application beyond the ethical concerns, and the most you'll see is preserved skin like preserved tattoos. Though apparently the Scythians made frequent use of human skin. Also in general you want leather to repel water, not absorb water.

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Thank you Nephaston. Are there courses one could take in fleshcraft? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386860-night-lords-wall-banner/page/2/#findComment-6137997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
