[QUOTE="Shieldhaven, post: 2081978, member: 23427"] This is a problem that has been bothering me a great deal also. I'm just as tired of "having" to stat NPCs with chain shirts, breastplates, or full plate as I am of seeing PCs with only those kinds of armor. For a campaign that I hope to start later this month, I will be using the following armor chart. (Let's see if I can post this in a readable fashion.) Armor AC MD ACP SF Cost Light Armor Padded +1 +8 0 5% 5 Leather +2 +7 0 10% 20 Studded Leather +3 +6 -1 15% 40 Ring Mail +4 +4 -2 20% 100 Chain Shirt +4 +5 -2 20% 200 Medium Armor Hide +4 +3 -3 20% 15 Brigandine +5 +3 -5 25% 150 Chain Mail +5 +4 -4 25% 300 Heavy Brigandine +6 +1 -6 30% 250 Breastplate +6 +3 -5 30% 400 Heavy Armor Splint Mail +7 +1 -7 40% 800 Banded Mail +7 +2 -5 35% 1000 Scale Mail +8 0 -7 45% 1000 Plate Mail +8 +1 -6 35% 1500 Full Plate +9 0 -7 40% 2000 Lobstered Plate +9 +1 -6 30% 4000 You will perceive that many kinds of armor have seen an improvement. I preferred that armor generally operate on a (armor bonus+max dex) total of +8 or +9, with a single and very, very expensive instance of +10. As long as your Dex is somewhere in a reasonable mortal range, you can find armor on this chart to suit you - and if not, well, mithral is still out there, but with a massive price-jump in the case of Lobstered Plate. So, yeah. Haven [/QUOTE]
