Small plates? Large plates? Empty Small plates? Large plates?

Post by Degren Brightforge on Mon Nov 23, 2015 2:59 pm

I've made some armor, and I'm confused about the difference between "Small plates on leather (scale mail)" and "Large plates on leather". My armour is much more akin to this, http://www.fantasy-armor.com/images/armors/AE1431.jpg, as opposed to http://img05.deviantart.net/ee78/i/2013/154/e/a/scale_mail_close_up_by_madhammer22-d67oaj3.jpg . Would it count as large plate, or small plate?
Thanks!

If the rule book makes a distinction between large plate on leather (such as the image you posted) and full plate (As in one big piece of steel), then I would say it was large plate on leather (Brigandine) rather than scale mail (lammellar).

I'm leaning with Hugo on this one. Though a call cannot be truly made until an event and it gets appraised by the AD in person. but, ya, looking like large plate and not scale mail.

Small plates *should* be brigandine and large plate *should* be things like pauldrons, breastplace, gorget etc... IMHO, it should read as: x number of points for small plate on leather OR Scalemaille
x number of points for large plate
