Plate Mail

Plate Mail Armor is another common form of metal armor. Large plates of hard metal are fashioned to cover the torso, arms and legs and attached at the joints to an underlying suit of chain mail; a padded undergarment (see Padded Armor, above) is worn underneath. If plate mail is worn without the undergarment, the Armor Class provided is 16 at a weight of 40 pounds. Stats: cost 300 gp • weight 50 lbs • AC 17.
