[LT/LTC2] Please Check My Armor Loadout

[DanHoward]

A lot of the Low-Tech hit locations do not have an associated number; shoulders is one of them. Others include groin, upper arms, elbows, forearms, thighs, knees, and shins. They are a subset of a larger location and you'll need to roll a second time if you want to determine exactly where the attack hit.

A standard coif only protects the neck. You'll need to extend it like the rules state if you want additional protection. If the arm is hit then a second roll of 6 means that the shoulder is hit and that the coif's DR gets in the way.

I'd like to know an alternative name for the Face (area 5) if people have suggestions. Head and Skull are already used.

You might want to consider the rules in Fantasy Tech instead.

Depends on what the horns are made from. At least some Greek horned helmets were made from lead. I've seen one pair that was dug up from a grave shaft at Mycenae.

Ah, yes. Thanks.

So, the ones in LT are made of lead?

[DanHoward]

No they are an abstraction just like plumes and crests and all other helmet decorations. 1 lb is a decent averge weight for these things. What is the point of a whole list of different decorations that all cost and weigh different amounts yet have the exactly same game effect?
