subplotkudzuAs I've stated in the past, there isn't any call for Heavy Armor in Emirikol, but what do the good gentlefolk wear to protect their largest organ?
rather than full 'suits' of armor, the style is for long leather gloves, high leather boots that flare up to protect the knee, doublets and a kilt or skirt to protect the groin. For convenience sake, these are generally referred to as a 'doublet', even though that's only part of the outfit.
**Light Armor Max Dex Check - Spell Fail
Boots and Gloves: +1 +8 0 5%
Padded doublet +2 +6 0 10%
Leather doublet +3 +5 -1 15%
Chain Shirt +4 +4 -2 20%
If you look, you'll see i did away with studded leather and upgraded each of the types by 1 to compensate. Studded leather doublets just seem aesthetically unappealing You get into medium armors and they're more like traditional armor from the PHB.
**Medium
Hide armor +3 +4 -3 20%
Chain Mail +5 +2 -5 30%
Breastplate +5 +3 -4 25%
No reason I can see for hide armor other than the occasional bandit whose doing the best he can with his limited resources. Wearing any medium armors when you're not in the army or guard will get you pulled aside by the guard right quick.
**Shield
Buckler +1 -1 5%
Cloak +1 0 5% (if wrapped)
Shield, small +1 -1 5%
Shield, large +2 -2 15%
Only guardsmen will carry shields most days. Seeing a guardsman with a brace of pistols, a breastplate and a large steel shield will make most fencers back down.
