Topic: Full Armor vs. Full Plate

It seems like these two things are the same thing but I just wanted to make sure.

On page 157, Full Armor is listed as costing 1500sp and offering AC 18.

On page 27, Plate is 1000sp and offers AC 18.

They're the same thing?

Is the price a typo?

p.157 is the beginning of the 'Early Modern' appendix, if you read further into it you'll see,

"Medieval armor had fallen out of style; campaigns which use these firearms rules should increase the cost of all armor and shields in the basic equipment lists by 50%." p.162

So yes, it is the same thing, but in the context of the early modern era, it costs more.

You people are all alike, you march in here, young, try and touch the local things.
I suppose next you'll be spraying me with one of those cans of paint, smearing poor Tubbs here with excrement.

Re: Full Armor vs. Full Plate

Ah, yes!

I was trying to suss this out while packing up to go home after a long day. This makes sense now.

Thanks for the heads up.
