If life taught me anything, it’s that there’s no such “one size fits all” of *anything*
There’s no “one answer” to any question, no “one solution” to any problem. Everything & everybody are uniquely distinct & individual…Even two electrons (free-floating or bonded into an atom) are carrying different charges or at least occupying two different points in space. The situations that people can find themselves with can only be *similar* to the situation for another person, they can never be *exactly* the same.
Penk is limiting his imagination, even for being in an immersion-style game.
…Very in-depth, well thought-out… But you forget that the only “size” constraints in any game happen to also simultaneously be tied to class or race constraints.
“One size fits all” is a universal MMO reference in this fashion, save for the few games that escape that norm–which I will admit to not having the pleasure of seeing many.
seeing as it’s night impossible to move in non-fitting armour (the stuff is, by design, not very felxable or easy to change the shape of) and the volcano-god-helmet is covering his eyes
Now that begs the question…
Penk is smaller than most trolls, as he is still young. Possibly still growing.
So what happens with the custom armor if he should bulk up even more? Panel six is realized?
Penk did get a major buff-up in size when he got volcanofied – the the extent he’s shown to be one of the taller trolls now – so he may just not grow any more
Begs the question of why Tectonicus didn’t give Harky armor. I guess it’s because Tec doesn’t think Harky needs it like Penk does, whether it’s because Harky heals so quickly or because Tec powered up Harky’s innate troll regen.
The troll Penk once felt weak and glum
But then a divine avatar he become
To wipe out the humans
The elves and the gnom…ans
Armies march to the beat of his drum!
Seems Tectonicus is not a fan of “one size fits all” armor.

Harky in that armor is stretching it a bit.
It very specifically is not, I would argue, which is the source of his woes.
It’s still better than having no armor in a tight situation.
One would hope there is a codpiece under the loin cloth or he Never has armour in the right Position.

I dare say Harky would feel a wee bit silly
Honestly, without the helmet (which frankly looks a bit silly in Penk anyway) the armor would accent Harky’s muscles nicely.
Which is, as we all know, the primary function of any suit of armor – to make all the exposed bits of flesh look just right.

He jumps back in the volcano to get refitted.
Well, since it’s magick god armor, it might grow with him. Or maybe he just asks Tectonicus for a trade in.

harky’s just huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge

Maybe he did, but Harky outgrew if… as imagined above.
simple learning curve. Teccys first champion had no armour, and then he met a Byron…
the second one gets armour to help keep his ass safe
I’m surprised that Penk doesn’t get Tectonicus-shaped “hat hair” from wearing that helmet.

(Apologies for the very ropey second line…)
but its an mmo… all armor magically fits…
