Re: Fine Plate.

Anything made of metal (swords, plate) gets cheaper with time. By the 16th century I think ordinary grunts were wearing munition armour, though maybe TFT thinks munition armour is half-plate, not sure.

The Cidri background says lots of places are medieval but only a few are like the renaissance. So I guess the prices are meant to reflect that somehow. You can justify any of a wide range of prices by choosing what era your setting most resembles.

Ordinary men at arms never had plate at all, other than cod pieces if they were luck. As you and others said it was expensive. It was like buying a Lamborghini.

I don't think the average man at arms in the 14th century even had plate, let alone fine plate. That was roughly when plate was invented, not when it became common. Initially only a few people would have had it: wealthy knights; nobles; their right hand killers; royal bodyguard types like the maison du roi; maybe some of the religious fighting orders. To penetrate down to ordinary men at arms would have taken probably another hundred years.

It is in ITL and AM and stops 6, reducing DX by 4 rather than 6, for the person it is tailored to.

Hi all, Daniel.
Fine Plate was indeed in TFT.  It stopped one extra point of damage
and lowered your DX one less than normal.  It cost x10 more than
regular plate, so $5,000.
