A type of Armor
From the Rulebook
This armor is created by overlapping many metal plates which are attached along only one edge. Individual scales are not held into rigid contact with the others, thus providing less protection from penetration and impact than other overlapping metal armors. Scale offers fair penetration and impact resistance.
Armor Points
Base Armor Points: 3
Maximum Armor Points: 4
Requirements
Scales must be at least 1.22mm (0.05")(18 gauge) steel. Scales must overlap by at least 10%. The backing must not be visible through the scales.
Armor Specific Modifiers
Fluted: +1
- Each plate has been fluted for additional strength and rigidity.
Heavy Gauge: +1
- Each plate is at least 1.58mm (0.06")(16 gauge).
Rigid: +1
- Each scale is attached to neighboring scales in such a fashion as to create a rigid shell rather than individually mobile scales.
Gambeson: +1
- This armor is worn over a Gambeson.
