Copyright (c) 1996 by Jonathan M Thompson Here is the table that I said I would upload.....It expands the armor rules abit, but I think that there is more realism involved...This table was created by an old group that I use to belong. It seems a bit complex at first glance but we liked it and I still use it in games (Fantasy mainly, but others also) All these numbers Expressed in PD/DR Wgt Armor Type Blunt Edge Point Frost/Fire 0.05 Heavy Cloth 0/0 0/1 0/0 0/1 0.15 Light Leather/Padded Cloth 1/1 1/1 1/1 0/2 0.20 Heavy Leather 1/2 2/2 2/2 0/3 0.25 Quilt (Hvy Padded Cloth) 2/3 2/2 2/2 0/3 0.18 Kurbul (boiled leather) 3/3 3/3 2/2 1/4 0.35 Ring Mail (on leather) 2/2 2/3 2/2 0/2 0.60 Scale/Banded Mail (on leather) 3/3 3/4 3/3 2/4 0.95 Scale/Banded Mail (on chain) 3/4 3/6 3/4 2/2 0.50 Chainmail 2/1 3/3 0/1 0/1 0.65 Chainmail (over leather/padded) 2/2 3/4 1/2 0/2 0.75 Chainmail (over quilt) 2/5 2/4 1/3 0/3 0.70 Light Plate 3/4 4/5 4/4 3/4 0.85 Light Plate (over leather/padded) 3/5 4/6 4/5 3/6 1.20 Light Plate (over chain) 3/5 4/7 4/5 3/5 0.75 Medium Plate 3/5 4/6 4/5 3/5 0.90 Medium Plate (over leather) 3/6 4/7 4/6 3/7 1.25 Medium Plate (over chain) 3/6 4/8 4/6 3/6 0.80 Heavy Plate 3/6 4/7 4/6 3/6 0.95 Heavy Plate (over leather) 3/7 4/8 4/7 3/8 1.30 Heavy Plate (over chain) 3/7 4/9 4/7 3/7 Size Modifier Body Part % wgt (in lbs) Modifier 4 Skull 12 Thorax 61- 65 x0.50 3 Face/Eyes 12 Abdomen 66- 75 x0.60 2 Neck 9 Both Hips 76- 90 x0.70 3 Both Shoulders 1 Groin 91-110 x0.80 6 Both Upper Arms 14 Both Thighs 111-135 x0.90 2 Both Elbows 3 Both Knees 136-165 x1.00 5 Both Forearms 12 Both Calves 166-200 x1.10 5 Both Hands 7 Both Feet 201-240 x1.20 241-285 x1.30 286-335 x1.40 Cost of Armor Heavy Cloth $1 Light Leather $2 Hvy Leather $3 Quilt $4 Kurbul $5 Ring $7 Scale/banded $10 Chain $15 Lgt Plate $20 Med Plate $25 Hvy Plate $30 Total Cost= (Body Part %) x (Size Modifier) x (Cost) Encumbrance= (Weight) x (Body Part %) x (Size Modifier)
