[QUOTE="Terath Ninir, post: 2089157, member: 47"] Okay, here's a first draft of a revised armour table. The first section has armour "foundations". They can be worn by themselves as armour. The next section has reinforced armour -- studs, rings, scales, or plates are sewn onto a foundation, or between two layers of foundation in the case of brigandine. This section deviates from the Core rules the most, since I was using the Palladium arms & armour book heavily for this. Ring mail consists of rings sewn onto a backing; bezainted has rings that are studded on the backing, making it a stronger armour. Scale is significantly better than the D&D version. The third section is armour that has a seperate foundation. You wear, usually, padding or quilting, then put the metal armour on seperately. Reinforced chain has something -- like metal or leather strips -- woven through the chain links to try to eliminate some of the weaknesses of the chain. It also makes it even harder to move around in, though. The next section is the one I've worked on the least: special materials and masterwork. I'm increasing the cost of masterwork in most cases, but also increasing the benefits. Well-made armour is MUCH better than "average" armour, not just a little bit. All the numbers here are still up in the air. The last section gives the type of the armour. If, after adjustments, the full suit of armour has a "type value" from 0-2, it's light; from 3-4, medium; and 5+ is heavy. Well -- any comments/critiques/death threats? ;) [/QUOTE]
