[QUOTE="Ferrix, post: 1722109, member: 6115"] The only thing I can think of personally is fast-donning straps for my character, although other characters who don't have a Dex bonus might use the heavy plate. On a side note, the listed weights are so f'n ridiculous. Seriously a steel shield that weighs twice as much as full plate? Not even talking about mountain plate. I won't list the exotic armors cause those require a feat. Here's a run-down of the new armor for those who don't have the book. Heavy Armor: Stone Plate, Armor bonus +6, Max Dex +1, Armor Check -7, Spell Failure 30%, Weight 35 lb., Cost 750gp Heavy Plate, Armor bonus +9, Max Dex +0, Armor Check -8, Spell Failure 45%, Weight 100 lb., Cost 2000gp Shields: Steel Tower Shield, Shield bonus +4, Max Dex +2, Armor Check -10, Spell Failure 50%, Weight 100 lb., Cost 75gp Extras: Fast-donning straps +150gp, eliminate the armor check penalty increase for donning armor quickly. Riding straps +200gp, +1 competence bonus to ride checks, stacks with military saddle Shield sheath +25gp, holds one light weapon, when shield is ready drawing the weapon is a free action. No more than one per shield. Signature crest +50gp, armor emblazoned with a signature crest. [/QUOTE]
