True, though mail and plates probably is not eligible for the Heavy Plate treatment. And it only has DR4 vs crushing, but it's still lighter than DR4 segmented plate.

However, if you're going for the central/western Europe medley typical of 'generic fantasy', it seems as if mail and plates wouldn't turn up.
