Brigandine

This style includes armor that is constructed from numerous shaped and fitted metal plates solidly connected along a supporting shell of heavy cloth (such as canvas, denim, or velvet) in such a way that when worn all plates are held together firmly and follow the general contours of the body. The plates are typically placed on the inside of the shell, presenting only fabric and rivets to the observer for a very clean and customizable appearance.

  • Is a Tier 6 armor style.
  • Must meet the Universal Equipment Requirements.
  • 75% of plates must overlap by at least 10% of their surface.
  • Plates need only be attached along one edge but must be held firmly against each other when the armor is worn.
  • Metal must at least equivalent to Aluminum in density and durability. (2.7g/cm3)
  • The standard for Material Thickness is based on the metal used:
    • Aluminum Plates: 16ga (0.051") (1.291mm)
    • Steel Plates: 18ga (0.048") (1.214mm)
