Materials for armor in Fantasy game

Thanks for the replies! I did find that old Elder Scrolls thread and it was suggested that Bonemold armor was simulated with Dragonbone from DF8, which seems fair.

I like the idea of applying the system of armor from Low-Tech, so I'm considering doing a supplement table in the same style with the exotic armors of the setting. So, applying Dragonbone on a medium plate, the base cost would be 60000$. This seem a bit much, and it after all a fantasy game, so I think I'll reduce it to 50000.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing to Meteoric and a few of the other materials from DF and in the meantime think up some more setting appropiate materials. Specific DR is a good idea and might actually make some factions interesting and give them a unique way of fighting.

As side note, what is the opinion on armor that grants Magic Resistance?
