Re: (TFT) Rule clarification

[PvK <pvk@oz.net>]

Must be a pretty old version of Melee to have chainmail at -4DX.
The only TFT Plate I've ever seen at -5DX is Half Plate (Advanced
Melee and ITL), which only stops 4 points per attack.

In other words, having seen many many many sources of TFT armor
values, standard chain and plate are -3DX and -6DX. I don't recall
ever seeing -4DX or -5DX for those (except Fine Plate at -4DX, and
I do think maybe I remember someone saying some old crusty original
version of Melee had chainmail at -4DX, but that's just a curiosity
to me, not a rival rule possibility, though surely some culture
could have inferior chainmail-making techiques if the GM wanted it
that way,

Stating the obvious(?) but in the original Melee rules it mentions Plate -6 
to DX and Chainmail -4 to DX and the combat example in the rules also uses 
this data, BUT at a later point in the rules it mentions Plate -5 to DX and 
Chainmail -3 to DX.

We have always played the second version.
