Melnibonean Plate is always MW and only available through Melnibonean craftsman. It can also be used to represent any Ancient/High form of armor (Valheru, Solamnic ...). Alternate name: High Plate. ... of this incredibly rare armor, no known suits are made of mithral, adamantine, or any other special material. High Plate incurs double the price modifier if it is made out of special materials (+20k adamantine, +18k mithral).

[option] Heavy Armor can only withstand so much before it needs to be repaired. It can take 25 hits before needing repair (craft DC 10 +base armor bonus, costs 10gp per hit up to 250gp). If allowed to go beyond this it will cost an add’t 100gp (350gp total), the armor will loose it’s DR rating, and the wearer will suffer a –2 circumstance/equipment penalty to AC ... until the armor is adequately fixed. (by TrentonJoe and Wolf72).

[footnotes]
1 Ej’s conversion (ring mail)
2 When running in Heavy Armor you move only 3x speed, not 4x.
3 Improved Mail by Drowdude
4 Ej’s conversion (full plate)
5 Dragonlords of Melnibone: Melnibonean plate, Leather-wood, Sea Leather

obie k'bie ... anyone know how to make the table so it doesn't stretch out the viewing screen?

[edit: I think I got it ... omigod! I think I got it!!!]


additions:

Sea leather only has a –2 to swim checks (instead of –3) because of weight, it resists saturation with water.

Leather-Wood armor soaks up water readily, it has a –6 to swim checks instead of a –4.

*= natural armors (usable by druids)

[edit]some prices have been modified:

Sea Leather, Leather-wood (converted and modified from bronze pieces in DLoM)

Partial, Lamellar, Banded


[I must have edited that table at least 20x trying to get the spacing right]

now to try for one more ....

Dragon armor sizes ... (maybe)

Code:
[color=white]

[b]type, Size    	Tiny	Small	Med	Large	Huge	Garg	Col[/b]
[b]Padded*[/b]	        Tiny	Small	Med	Large	Huge	Garg	Col
[b]Hide Armor[/b]	No	Tiny 	Small 	Med	Large	Huge	Garg
[b]Banded Mail[/b]	No	No	Tiny	Small	Med	Large	Huge
[b]½ Plate[/b]	        No	No	No	Tiny	Small	Med	Large
[b]Br/Full Plate[/b]   No	No	No	No	Tiny	Small	Med
[b]Buckler*[/b]	Or Yes	Or Yes	Yes/or	Yes/or	Yes/or	Yes/or	Yes/or
[b]S/L Shield[/b]	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
[/color]

buckler and padded my house rule

okay some table info ...

'Or Yes' means that you can make the desired armor or the buckler.

a single 'Yes' means you can make this in addition to the armor

and 'Yes/or' means you can make a buckler or small or large shield.

IMW dragon hide bucklers: are MW, have no Arcane Spell Failure and weigh 2½ lb., they can gain no EXTRAS [they are worth 1,165gp]. (extras are my way of saying non-magic equipment bonuses that are part of my HR dragonscale armor rules)

just bumping this up so I can reference it easier ...

I'll putz around withe spacing later (eek, at one time it was fine!)
 

Consider the table yoinked!

These are very good rules!

I will substitute Sea Lether for Ranger Armor IMC and drop the DR but otherwise, this is just great
