[LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

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.)

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

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

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

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

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

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.

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

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!

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

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

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

Much appreciated.

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

You have some sets with a breastplate and a hauberk, how does that work?

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

I like buying armor piecemeal, since it allows more flexibility, but with gamers who's brains are scorched by D&D this makes life easier. I'll probably copy/paste it, clean it up some, and repost it (with your permission) in that format and maybe even see if it's possible to make GCA templates of equipment. (If it is, that would make my life as a GM hella easier.)

Edit: Done, it's not like it was rocket science to do. My biggest thing after a quick going-over is that I like to allow players who want to just wearing "Standard Clothing" to be able to do so for only like 2 pounds. (Like a Wizard or Cleric in robes, a Thief wanting to be as light as possible, etc.)

Re: [LT/DF] Sets of Armor
 

In those cases, the breastplate is worn over the hauberk. Those sets use the "layering armor" rules.
