Re: Low-Tech Armour Loadouts.
What's an althing?
The institute is Alþingi (or Althingi for those of you with imperfect keyboards), and you go to þing. |

Jazerant
A jazerant was the most common form of concealed armour. It consisted of a mail shirt sandwiched between layers of light padding. Low-Tech mail stats already include the light padding so all that is needed is the clothing and the concealment mods.
A Fine Mail vest covers the torso, has DR 4/2*, costs $900 and weighs 15 lbs. Long sleeves are half this or $450, 7.5 lbs. Total = $1350, 22.5 lbs. Ordinary clothing for a Status 1 character is 20% CoL or $240. The errata says that Ordinary Clothing should weigh 4 lbs. That's 2.4 lbs for a long-sleeved shirt and 1.6 lbs for long pants. When combined into a jazerant the Combination Gadget rules (p. 14) say that the shirt only weighs 80% or 1.92 lbs. Total 22.5 + 1.92 = 24.42 lbs. Same with cost: $1350 + (0.8 x $240) = $1542. LT p. 102 says that fine mail's Holdout penalty is normally DR/3 which rounds up to -2. If you want to remove the -2 Holdout penalty then it costs 3 x $1542 or $4,626. Jazerant (Status 1) with long sleeves: DR 4/2*, $4,626, 24.4 lbs. No Holdout penalty. Last edited by DanHoward; 10-27-2010 at 04:10 AM. |

Re: Low-Tech Armour Loadouts.
What would be cool is a load out of pretty well as close of replacement to the Basic Set's equipment list as can be made.

Re: Low-Tech Armour Loadouts.
What would you match it by besides type: DR, weight or cost?
