Most animals (at least above circle rating 1) already come with their own natural armor that's better than anything barding would provide.
On top of that you get the already mentioned talents that can further boost that armor.
I think that should be enough

Re: Fourth Edition Errata, Clarifications, and FAQs
Another thing came up today in Discord. Astral Interference vs Baseline Subtraction: Can someone cast Baseline Subtraction just in the anticipation that Astral Interference may be used or is the spell only valid as a counter of already existing interference? Scenario: A Wizard casting Baseline Subtr...

Re: Fourth Edition Errata, Clarifications, and FAQs
Defensive Stance:
Table on page 383 says -3 to all tests, but description in 384 says just tests, except for Knockdown.
Main question:
Does that mean it also reduces Initiative?

Re: Astral Space attacks
The only ways to attack something astrally in ED4 with a weapon are the respective talents to do so and a few (I can think of at least one) spells.

Re: Barbed (Throwingg) Nets - Damage Questions
Thanks for the answer but since I posted this one of my players has dug up a post by Panda in the Discord that it's actually Step 2 and it's reduced by armor when they fail to escape. (https://discord.com/channels/328545846935158785/328545930057875457/711820120149983263) That leaves the Forging ques...

Barbed (Throwingg) Nets - Damage Questions
A few questions concerning Barbed Nets: 1. Am I right to assume that the 2 Damage enemies take when they fail to beat the Entangling difficulty ignores armor? 2. Can these nets be forged? 3. If yes, does the Forging only affect the Damage test of actively swinging these nets at enemies or does it al...

Rapier of Wit, GMG 228.
"Thread Rank Seven
Deed: The owner must publicly show up or humiliate a victor of the tournament
held in Blood Wood.
Effect: The sword now inflicts +3 damage points for each additional success on
the Attack test."
Shouldn't this be +3 Damage Steps?

Re: Bright Eyes In Dark Trees [Thread Item]
I really like the flavour of being watched but it's a bummer you aren't building on it more.
Maybe have a bit more flavour in the Rank 6 ability, like "When using this ability while Astral Sight is active, the user perceives a stalking presence that seems to always be just outside their line of sight"

Re: Looking for some GM advice
I think the hunting down part is absolutely the way to go. The character essay made very clear what other shamans think of insect spirits and a shaman who has allied with one is probably something they would do anything to destroy. Now here is the kicker though: Offer them a resolution: A cleansing...
