ON SIZING AND ARMOR

Some types of armor must be
sized to your client.
There
are three sizes of armor:
Small, medium and large.
Some races can wear more
than one size of armor.

Barbarians, ogres and trolls
wear large armor.

Barbarians, elves, Erudites,
half-elves and humans wear
medium armor.

Dwarves, elves, gnomes and
halflings wear small armor.






BANDED ARMOR
(SMALL, MEDIUM & LARGE)

Each piece of banded armor
can be sized to a small,
medium or large client.

The size of the armor is
determined by the mold used.



Each section of banded armor
requires a sheet of metal
and a mold appropriate to
that section of the body.
Each also requires a flask
of water to cool it.

Belts, cloaks, helms, masks,
mantles, and sleeves require
2 sheets of metal.


Leggings, and mail require
3 sheets of metal.
