So reading the rules for armor, i have a cool idea for armor. I think it could be Authentic material, level two armor that covers all locations, and is really light.
The rules say for level 2 "a material with a minimum of 1⁄4" wide metal studs 1" apart or less, a material with at least 14 gauge metal rings spaced 1" apart or less" and in level 1 heavy canvas is listed(altho a material dosnt say it has to be a lvl 1 armor material). so i thought what might be a great idea is black canvas judo/karate/kung fu Gee. they look good and are quite period looking. If i covered it with like 500 studs or rings it would be level two armor with the comfort of fighting in heavy pajamas. Add a matching coif/hood and every location would be covered.
Has anyone tried this? Or any faric and stud combo? and what would be best for non leather ringmail?
Im thinking of using 1/4 inch spots and 1 inch rings, antiqued brass from tandy. anyone use those before?
