[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1120254, member: 158"] My answer's complex: I want MORE flavor, LESS stats. In Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed, I loved the ideas of articulated place, chain-and-plate armor, Definitive Harnesses, etc. However, there really is not enough room for variation between the existing armors to make them worthwhile. Who in their right mind would choose Chain shirt (+4 ac, +4 max dex) to a leather coat (+4 ac, +6 max dex, lighter weight)? It would be nice to see a supplement that said: LEATHER ========== here are variations in leather armor (text & pictures) CHAIN ============= here are variations in chain shirts (text & pictures) and so forth. Stats are all right, but I like to know what else is out there descriptively besides "hauberk & vambraces." I could pick up historical texts with this in mind, but they would not be geared towards the distinctions in armor that are geared in gaming. [/QUOTE]
