[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 5888319, member: 6666968"] Okay. Well, you pulled up historical parade armor of kings. The pathfinder version is quite different. The example used in the Adventure Armory can be seen on the [I]Andoran - Spirit of Liberty[/I] cover. Think more of English Redcoats from the American Revolutionary war. That is where Paizo acquired the idea from. They just changed to blue so as to not confuse people with different time genres. So, that really doesn't fit with what you wanted for Spike. A cestus would be fingers exposed spiked gauntlet with just enough material to reinforce the spikes back through the wrist and forearm. It is designed to have a punching weapon, but still be able to grab a pole arm or bow to use as a main weapon. Again, quite useful, but not the totally encased look you seem to be going for with Spike. And a cestus shouldn't provide the protection from self injury with wielding a chakram in melee that a spiked gauntlet would. So, the spiked gauntlet looks like the path you should be going down. As to the helm, yeah, there is no explicit cost listed. I kind of expected equipment like that to show in Ultimate Combat, but it didn't. Kalgor paid 2 gp and his weighs 3 lbs. So, you have a precedent example.
