Description/Notes[edit]

The set of armor is comprised of steel plates woven together by silk over leather pads. The suit contains shoulder plates, full torso armor, wrist plates, a heavy skirt that goes down to the knees, thigh guards and shin guards, as well as a helmet. Designed to be more protective than the more basic infantry samurai armor, while still prioritizing speed and agility more than other forms of heavy armor. If a set of this armor is acquired, it can be further upgraded to perfectly fit the wearer for 100 to 400 (2d4 x 50) gold pieces. This increases the max dex bonus by +1, and if the armor is masterwork, reduces the armor check penalty by a further 1 point, for a total max dex bonus of +3, and a total armor check penalty of -3 if it is masterwork, and an armor check penalty of -5 if not.

  1. Unlike the additional cost, the increase to the armor or shield's hardness and hit points are only gained from its enhancement bonus, not its special abilities.
  2. If the armor or shield has a magical bonus greater than +5 or a special ability worth more than +5, then it's epic. Multiply magic cost by 10.
