[LT/DF] Sets of Armor

[Phantasm]

Using Bruno's table for pieces, I've come up with a few "sets" of armor. The in-universe explanation is that armorsmiths are more likely to sell the armors as sets rather than piecemeal, particularly stuff that can be bought "off the rack", such as mail suits, or are custom jobs, such as full plate armors.

My main concern is that I might have missed a few common sets of armor, or that I've given some sets incorrect pieces.

(No idea if Low-Tech has anything similar, but these might work well in a Fantasy setting, particularly one set in a Renaissance-like era or a Dungeon Fantasy setting.)

Thank you for this, makes it easier on me, and I'm hoping many others.

Do you have total weights for the sets (to go with the costs)? If not, I can obviously scratch them together myself, but why duplicate work? :D

I never calculated them, but I suppose it's easy enough to do. Gimme half an hour or so.

I initially avoided giving weights to the armor sets, due to the many "this armor is too heavy!" arguments that inevitably spring up when weight comes into play.

Edit: Armor set weights added.

Wow! It is like you read my mind. I sat down to do this very thing today (using Bruno's table) for a new game I'm running. Thanks!

[Bruno]

Thanks much for adding the weights in, it's appreciated!
