Re: Reducing Low-Tech Armour Don Times
I admit to being a bit of realism fan. But not allowing one to slip on complex state of the art armor like a pair of pants isn't pitiless or inherently un-fun.

Something I believe that was quite common with armour for the face and neck, and great helms going over smaller ones. Also Knights had squires and batsmen for a reason Counter to D&D-SOP where everyone walks around with their best armour on, visors down and weapon drawn every moment of the day in case the DM throws a random encounter at them while they take a p*ss or haggle for bread.

Re: Reducing Low-Tech Armour Don Times
It would be full of pretty boring things like the so called "bagdad battery" written up as a scroll case, clerics' maces that actually shed blood when they smack someone in the head, longbow arrows bouncing off plate armour, and medieval peasants that only work 200 days a year.

Re: Reducing Low-Tech Armour Don Times
Rules Exemption (Don Times) [1] (GURPS Power-Ups 2: Perks, p. 20). Lets you put on armor as fast as a normal set of clothing, or in 2d turns if the GM wants to be generous.

Re: Reducing Low-Tech Armour Don Times
Well I'm really looking for improvements in armour not in the wearer, that aren't silly and for reasons of "tacticool" more than donning times actually being at all relevant.

Arrows off plate, like sniper rifles' bullets off tank armor. Why do people think they should penetrate?

Re: Reducing Low-Tech Armour Don Times
The Japanese use armor stands that were intended to allow the warrior crouch under it and basically crawl up into his armor in less than a minute. I think my source on this is some Time-Life book series when I was a kid so take it for what it's worth.
