[LT] Relative DR of Plate Components

[Novembermike]

It's going to depend. Are we talking about a Landsknecht foot soldier? That's probably going to be a breastplate, helmet, upper legs and maybe the hands. Standard knight armor is probably going to be lighter on the hands and around some joints, but I don't know if it was significantly lighter over entire sections as used by GURPS Low Tech.

Really, you could probably just look at it and try to save weight where reasonable and you should end up with realistic armor. The head and vitals need a lot of armor, the legs and arms need less. There's not that much to it.
