Removing Armor

[Hypersmurf]

Taking off, say, Studded Leather Armor takes 10 rounds.

Taking it off with assistance take 5 rounds.

What about removing the same armor from someone who can't assist? Say, looting a dead body?

And someone actively resisting, like a prisoner?

I'd say 10 rounds. When there's one person doing it, it's 10, when there are two helping each other, it's 5. Sure, the person looting the body can reach all the straps more easily, but they're going to wind up having to roll the body over, undo buckles, roll it back over, etc. There are inconveniences in taking off armor alone, either as the wearer or not, so 10 rounds for each sounds good to me.

And someone actively resisting, like a prisoner?

-Hyp.

This is purely arbitrary, but I'd simply double each time. 20 rounds for the studded leather, 8 minutes for full plate. Taking off armor is tough enough without someone jerking the buckles out of your hands every time you go to undo them.

Prisoner? Knock him out.

Prisoner? Knock him out.

Then it goes back down to 4 minutes.
