Re: Swords and plate
You know other posts in this thread make me question some assumptions.
I've always thought as axes and halberds as armor piercing weapons...
Its more appropriate to call them armor effective weapons, in reality ( I think) these weapons, as well as crushing weapons such as a mace, were used not to pierce armor but just to crush or otherwise bludgeon a person to death.
Causing extensive broken bones and internal injuries.
Now this is because axes hit harder than swords, as well as maces. Causing more compression force.
So with that, I think ill use a modified version of the edge protection.
It'll only be effective for metallic armors, and only against swords. To compensate ill make it easier for swords to target chinks.
I believe standard is - 10 to hit ? and for the estoc -8 ?
I might turn that into -8 and - 6 respectively
Swords vs. Leather or cloth has no effect
