Lamellar and Laminar

This style includes armor that is constructed from numerous metal plates, connected to each other in an overlapping fashion by cord, chain link, or similar methods. Unlike Heavy Scale, the plates of this type of armor are firmly connected to each other in such a way that they resist penetration. Mobility is provided by the small amount of flex and slack in the attachment between the individual plates.

  • Is a Tier 5 armor style.
  • Must meet the Universal Equipment Requirements.
  • Plates must overlap by at least 10%.
  • Plates connect directly to each other without any backing for support.
  • Metal must at least equivalent to Aluminum in density and durability. (2.7g/cm3)
  • The standard for Material Thickness is based on the metal used:
    • Aluminum Plates: 16ga (0.051") (1.291mm)
    • Steel Plates: 18ga (0.048") (1.214mm)
