Re: (TFT) Chainmail and Plate armour DX adjustement inconsistencies (was Rule clarification)

Cool! Thanks for the link and congratulations on what may be a first edition of Melee!

Clearly they didn't edit those numbers well. In later editions they settled on:

Cloth 1, -1 DX, MA 10
Leather 2, -2 DX, MA 8
Chainmail 3, -3 DX, MA 6
Half Plate 4, -5 DX, MA 6
Plate 5, -6 DX, MA 6

And added:
Tower Shield 3, -2 DX

And with a lot of expense and custom fitting:
Fine Plate 6, -4 DX, MA 6

Those rules also added weight in kg to equipment, and additional DX and MA penalties for carrying weight based on ST.

A later article also suggested other types of fine armor, though our campaigns only agreed to use:
Fine Chainmail 4, -2 DX, MA 6

GM's and players can of course agree to play with other types and values.
