Default Re: [Low-Tech Loadouts] Etruscan Warrior, 7th to 3rd century B.C.

LOADOUTS

NOTES
Ethnic Names: All the ethnic names are Greeks, not Etruscans, because not very much Etruscan words are known and only very few of them do refer to military lexicon (Cilth = Fortress, Husrna/Huzrna = Army, Macstrevc = Military Command, Zat- = Axe, Zatlath = Bodyguard).
Nape Guard: Some helmets have a protection for the nape that doesn't include the ears. A Nape Guard protects the back of the head (the back of area 5) but not the ears. Cost and weight are 20% of base Pot Helm (4% of torso armor).
Scale Armor: In GURPS Low-Tech, Medium Scale Armor weights as much as Heavy Layered Cloth and it had the same DR 4, with an additional -1 DR vs. crushing. In order to correct these bad stats, in my HRs:
- Light Scale Armor: DR 3 (2 vs. crushing), 16 lbs, $ 400 [LT: $ 320].
- Medium Scale Armor: DR 4 (3 vs. crushing), 24 lbs [LT: 28 lbs], $ 600 [LT: $ 550].
- Heavy Scale Armor: DR 5 (4 vs. crushing) [LT: DR 5], 32 lbs [LT: 40 lbs], $ 800 [LT: $1,100].
Both Low-Tech and House Rules stats are reported when necessary (anyway, only in one of four loadouts below).
