Topic: Favorite Armor Type

[Marc R]

Casually, my characters rarely go past leather. . .if you know you're going into battle, Chain and AT 18 plate come out. . .

[Fenrhyl Wulfson]

In the wilderness, leather armour or light chain with a shield strapped in the back.

In a city, well, guards were wary about foreigners dressed in armour...

When i knew a fight was about to happen : AT 20 with a pole weapon and a sword, an axe, a dagger and a target shield.

Let's see, given my current PCs:
 - AT1 with adrenal defense or magical defenses (and praying)
 - AT6 for the thiefly sorts
 - AT12 full plate made from Dragon or Fell hide for the Paladin
 - AT18/19 for the warrior types

We also had a quite successful fighter who started off with some sort of chain mail and later swapped that for a sturdy yet quite manoeuvrable AT 18 - just as DS pointed out. Excellent piece of equipment.

For Rangers and most Semis I always liked AT 9 or 10 which are really good or, well, offer an excellent balance between protection, manoeuvrability, and spell casting penalties, except you are a essence spell-user, of course.

When I've got access to enchanted stuff, I like AT 4 for Essence users and of course the best: AT 12 for fighters and channelers.  Normal AT used tends to be AT 1, 10, 14 or 20 though.
