Topic: Assorted Armor Questions

[Nejira]

Yes its me, the guy with all the questions

Its armor this time. Now does an Armor?s Quickness Penalty reduce Qu bonus for everything (qu-related) or just DB?

Anywhere I can find AT for scalemail and and banded (Lorica segmentata)?

Just for DB. For skills (Moving Maneuvers), you use the Maneuver Penalty as adjusted by the appropriate armor skill.

Anywhere I can find AT for scalemail and and banded (Lorica segmentata)?

That is one of the drawbacks with the current RMFRP armor rules, each AT represents a specific suit of armor, so it is very hard to add new types of armor or any sort of "Armor by the Piece" rules.

IIRC, there aren't any RMFRP supplements that might have that information.

However, the RMC book, Combat Companion, does take into account different styles of armor and so forth, and it does include Plate Scale (and Leather Scale as armor options. And while the Combat Companion can be used with RMFRP, to be able to do all this with armor, it had to completely change the armor system to do so.

Aaaaaaand, Races & Cultures : Underground races comes to the rescue !

Lamellar armor : a skill in the Armor.Medium category. Protects as AT 13 (+5 DB VS melee, -5 DB vs missile), graves give it AT 14.

consider banded like lamellar with a malus against crushing weapons and a bonus against slashing and piercing.

Scale armor : a skill in the Armor.Heavy category. Protects as AT 19 (-10 missile penalty, -15 Qu penalty)

Now, i think the AT for scale is too much (I'd give it 18).

Thanks !

However, I'd rather use RMC new armour system. I plan on adapting it for my RMSS campaign. Still, those informations are usefull for people who don't have this book.
