Ramhknali Armor - A Summary

So after last Thursday's game, a player asks me,

"can you re send me the armor stuff and the other stuff again? when i got booted from the call, I lost all the info in the chat

make the group and add use ot it"

Which I preceded to spend entirely too much time on. Hooray for over-complicated armor rules! Here, have a reference table.

A note: This list is sorted by which of the city's many factions wears this type of armor. Strangers assume you belong to this faction if you walk around in their stuff; dress accordingly. Your costume will only pass a brief inspection by insiders, so don't push your luck!

And seriously, the blowfish cap is cheap because it makes you look ridiculous. Wearing a war mask is proof positive you're about to commit a crime. See this as of yet unwritten post for explanations and pretty pictures.

1. In iron pieces: Ramhknali currency is weird. In other settings use your own standard.

 
2. Shields can be splintered. Before taking damage you may declare your shield absorbs it, for the price of shattering into so many useless boards.

3. It's so small it leaves the hand free. Can't be splintered since it's a hunk of metal.

 
4. Not For Sale. Not even on the black market. The black market, incidentally, is why some of these prices are so high. The Captanate and the Accounting Corp do not generally sell to civilians, but the occasionally corrupt quartermaster certainly does.

 
5. +4 AC vs. missiles. Can also be splintered.

 
6. It's pretty shit. If you smack it for max damage, it goes down to +1AC. Costs 20 IP to repair.

 
7. You can wear both together.

 
8. Big spikes! Anyone who engages in melee you roll a 1d12 against. On a 12, you deal 1d4 damage.

 
9. +1 punching damage, fuck yeah!

Section

This column tells you what the armor covers. A lot of armor protects the entire body; you may wear a helm and shield and that's it. Other armor covers the torso, arms and legs individually. Mix and match to your heart's content. You can overlap pieces but the AC doesn't stack

Weight

How many significant items this weights. Armor is heavy, but its bulk is distributed across your body. If you're not currently wearing the armor, the weight doubles, with 0's increasing to 1. Hopefully you will never need that rule.

Athletics Penalty

The athletics penalty, or AP, reflects a sad reality: you ain't doing any sick ninja flips in 30 pounds of metal. Any time climb a wall, flee a boar, or lift a bolder (or most any STR, DEX and CON checks out of combat), add your sum AP to the roll. And of course, swimming is right out.

P.S. Knives in grabby melee range ignore AC from armor. So do war hammers, cannons, etc.

Buckler, War Turban and a Coat of Nails. He's got 99 problems but low AC ain't one.
