[QUOTE="Wyckedemus, post: 6015851, member: 1079"] [b]Armor Ideas[/b] I think that there should be general armor categories, and the *Descriptions" of those categories contain the variety of armors that fit into those categories. The following suggested table gives purpose to the various armor types beyond cost. Light Armor AC Max Dex Cost Leather 11 +5 10gp Brigandine 12 +4 25gp Chain Shirt 13 +3 40gp Medium Armor (-1 to Str and Dex checks) Hide Armor 14 +3 30gp Chain Mail 15 +2 75gp Scale Mail 16 +1 90gp Heavy Armor (-1 to Str and Dex checks, Cannot move while being Stealthy, -5 speed) Banded Armor 17 +2 100gp Plate Armor 18 +1 250gp Full Plate Armor 19 +0 500gp Leather: include the variety of light, non-metallic armors.
