I’m wielding it as instructed, but the character is still getting wet… The weather status is Rain, so it’s not the worst weather ever. I can’t (a)pply to open the umbrella or anything like that.

Related note, shouldn’t rain coats have hoods? They currently only cover the torso and arms. Motorcycle helmets aren’t waterproof either, I think they should be.

Umbrellas give a “saving throw” against getting wet, “The Umbrella protects you from the rain” but you can still get wet after extended periods of time in the rain

I suggest using the experimental build when reporting for bugs as they may already have been fixed.

I did install the latest experimental build, but it CTD’d almost immediately after entering the world, so I reverted back to the stable build.
