Re: GURPS Low-Tech: Instant Armor
I have no idea how it stacks up historically, but game mechanically, you can use plate on the forearms and shins and then use medium segmented + layers of padding on the balance of the limbs to match their DR, if you're aiming for the simplicity of a single DR value for the whole limb. -GEF

Re: GURPS Low-Tech: Instant Armor
None of the thicker armours should be available anywhere except the torso and head.

Is that based on mechanical limitations, or just historical usage?

Re: GURPS Low-Tech: Instant Armor
It's good to see that this is a thread with the value of being a sort of Designer's Notes article.
