Default [LT/LT:IA] Armor Suits, v3!

Okay, this is my third attempt at making armor. (I decided to split it off from my earlier v2 thread for various reasons.)

A few notes:

* I'm using the terms "hauberk" and "cuirass" to indicate armor pieces that cover the full torso area - chest, abdomen, and groin - mainly for ease of use. Essentially, a "hauberk" would be one that hangs loose in a 'one size fits all' kind of deal, while a cuirass needs to be properly fitted by an armorer. Feel free to substitute "haubergeon" or "cuirass and fauld" when reading.

* I left off suits made of bone, horn, paper, and straw because they're not used in my own setting. These suits are intended to be guidelines for players making their own or purchased as full suits in my Renaissance Fantasy setting.

* Leather Scale is built as Layered Leather.

* My setting's Far East uses Segmented Plate instead of Mail.

* Many of my players tend to be more familiar with That Other Game, so I've indicated which suits - in my mind, at least - match up to That Other Game's suits of armor.

And now: the armor!
