The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Three – Armor & Shields


Heroic Armor set by JophieIS

The Elder Scrolls have a lot of different types of armor and shields that at various times have been classified in various ways. GURPS have different types of armor too, though not as many, and I want those two lists to work together. One way to do that would be to make GURPS rules for each of the armors in TES. That seems like too much work to me. Especially in this step by step, iteration based, creative process that I’m using. So let’s not do that.

Another way would be using the more limited list of GURPS stated armors while giving the player freedom enough to define what that means. Or in other words, to some extent, design their own armor. Buy something on the list, use its DR, cost, and weight, but decide for yourself what the armor looks like. This way, TES armor that look different and have different names, but have similar stats, can be covered by one GURPS armor set.

Secondly, allowing armors of other materials than ordinary cloth/fur, leather, and steel will change the stats of those armors and allow them to fulfill the roles of additional armor.

We are using GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers and GURPS Low-Tech for the armors and shields.

Armor Modifiers

Demonic: It works as Dwarven from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, but it works up to DR +4 which weighs 1.8 times as much and is CF +4. CF varies.
Dragonbone: It works as Dragonhide from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, for any plate armor. DF varies.
Dragonhide: It works as Dragonhide from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, for all hard leather armors and all scale armors. DF varies.
Dragonsteel: It works as Dragonhide from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, but for all metal armor and gives -3 reaction from Knights of Celemana and friends and family of the rightful owner instead of from dragons. DF varies.
Entercian Silver: It works as Thieves’ from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, but it ignores encumbrance for all reasons. CF +9.
Elven: Any armor can be Elven. If the base armor has divided DR, Elven armor uses the higher DR for all damage. Other armor has +1 DR. All Elven armor has 3/4 normal weight. Split DR armor is CF +12 and other armor is CF +49.
Fine: It works as Fine from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +9.
Giant Spider Silk: It works as Giant Spider Silk from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +99.
Gnomish: Any metal armor can be Gnomish. It either works as Orichalcum from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five or it doubles the DR for +99 CF. CF varies.
Iron: Any metal armor can be made of iron. It has the listed weight, but counts as cheap.
Matruskan Steel: Any metal armor can be made out of Matruskan Steel. It otherwise works as Orichalcum from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +29.
Meteoric: It works as Meteoric from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +19.
Ornate: It works as Ornate from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF varies.
Spiked: It works as Spiked from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +2.

Dragonhide, Dragonsteel, Enterican Silver, Giant Spider Silk, Gnomish, Iron, Matruskan Steel, and Meteoric are mutually exclusive. Demonic, Elven, and Gnomish are mutually exclusive. Armor made of Entercian Silver cannot be Ornate.

Armor Table

We are using GURPS Low-Tech for armor the stats in the following table. The first line is cost and the second is weight. In Low-Tech, only the cost and weight for the torso is listed and there’s a table with percentages to calculate weight and cost for the rest of the body. For ease of use, those calculations have already been made. But all armors are also lighter than they were in Low-Tech.
Armor: The type of armor.
DR: How much the armor protects. This is not listed for armors taken from the books to avoid fair use issues. This is just a tool to help those that have the books, they are not supposed to supplant them.
Head: Covers the entire head, except the face. Unless the full face is included.
Body: Covers neck, torso, and groin. Breastplates cover only from the front and are half price and weight.
Arms: Covers the arms.
Hands: Covers the hands.
Legs: Covers the legs.
Feet: Covers the feet. If the shin cost and weight is included, the boots end just below the knees.
Suit: Covers your entire body.
Page: The page in Low-Tech where you can find this type of armor in the armor table. The DR and notes may be the most interesting as those are not listed here.
On Your Own: Arms, Hands, Legs, and Feet come in pairs. If you only want one of them, you can get them for half cost and weight.

Description: You buy the armor and you determine what it looks like. Some of the modifiers mentioned above, may limit your design options.

Shield Table

The following table presents the stats for available shields. The table headings have been taken from B287 and the shields themselves from Low-Tech. Most shields have had their weight altered. Light shields are made of leather or hide while the heavy shields, and shields that are not heavy or light, are made of wood. Stats for iron shields are listed in the Basic Set.

How to Dress in Town

Most heroes are prudent enough to wear armor in the field, but wearing armor in town is asking for trouble. Unless you have a job that requires you to wear armor in town. Wearing any armor in town gives you -1 penalty to reactions. If the armor is made of metal or your face is covered, that becomes -2. And if both of those are true, the penalty becomes -4.

Crossbow

All crossbows are made of steel with straight bow construction, rectangular bow shape, Good bow quality, and 0.08 standard arrow weight.

The choice of wood for the crossbow had some minor impact on cost and weight, but no impact on performance whatsoever. So we are only going to check crossbows that use ash.

Crossbow 333: 840 lbs draw weight, 44" total length, 10" target draw length, 3 N, and 0.38 chosen bow

Having looked at the full sized crossbows, we also look at the pistol sized crossbows. And steel doesn’t do what is needed there. Nor do we have fiberglass. So we try a few different types of wood.

Ash Pistol Crossbow: 150 lbs draw weight, 27" total bow length, 11" target draw length, recurved bow construction, rectangular bow shape, 1 N, 0.5 chosen bow thickness, 0.02% allowed deflection, 1.4 selection width, 21 crossbow support length, 1 string loops.
