The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

What's Odin's stake in things?

<< < (8/8)

Bacchus:
i want to point out that injuries almost never leave iron inside of someone.  I was an emt/firefighter for a number of years and you just don't see things like that much. knives/etc usually don't stay in.

 like for 100 trauma calls or vehicle collisions you might get 1 where theres something sticking out.
and that seems to just turn off his mantle so if the mantle wasn't the only thing keeping him conscious he can quickly remove the knife/ect .
99 times out of 100 this magical toughness would be a godsend while once it will be a liability
i don't see the iron thing as much of a disadvantage
bullets are lead and i want to say are usually jacketed with non iron softer metals(copper/brass) so as not to mess up a guns rifling.
when he remakes his duster and isn't fighting naked it will become almost a non issue

the mental effects seem to be a super adrenaline rush which is the exact set of responses evolution has made so people are more likely to survive violent encounters.
If he were to become a lawyer or polititian it would be a liability but dresden is basicly a warrior and these effects already seem to have caused him to survive a few times  when he wouldn't have.

Yea that was a lot of the point to Lacuna's Hook armor, barbs meant to break off or otherwise attach.
