4th Discussion Thread for Shadow of Love

[Legolas]

As taken from the 2E player handbook:

Full Plate: This is the impressive, high Gothic-style armor of the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance. It is perfectly forged and fitted. All the plates are interlocking and carefully angled to deflect blows. The surfaces are normally highly ornamented with etching and inlaid metals. Each suit must be carefully custom-fitted to the owner and there is only a 20% chance that a captured suit can be refitted to a new owner of approximately the same size. The metal plates are backed by padding and chain mail. The weight is well-distributed. The armor is hot, slow to don, and extremely expensive. Due to these factors, it tends to be used more for parades and triumphs than actual combat.

The ornaments and etchings in this case are further complemented by the copper coating, much like a gilder would tap thin slabs of gold onto the surface to adorn. It helps the wearer stand out amidst other armored figures.
The armor's seen some wear and tear, particularly in the last combat, but the dents are minor and scorchmarks and peeling copper shouldn't damage the functionality much. As he should, Marcos has done his best to ensure the suit remains in optimum condition

As far as taking it apart goes, let's see.
Apart from all the padding and the hose, we have the Pauldrons, Mail Gussets, Breastplate, Plackart, Couter, Fauld of Four Lames, Tasset, Cuisses, Poleyns, Greaves, Chain Sabatons, Mail Chausses, Gauntlets, Culet of Three Lames, Mail Gussets, Guard of the Vambraces, Revebraces, Gardbraces and Mail Standard. I think.
It's a complete set except for the helmet, in any event.

Is it just me, or was this battle a good deal for Kynnen? Just a few minutes ago he was a prisoner with no items and now he gets the items of three adventurers...

He has his own worries.
For example....when he goes outside into the daylight.
A drow suffers many penalties...so if anyone were to want to kill a drow, then they should know when and where to do it.

By the way...it is nighttime right now, as was established most recently in a post by Cyril posing as Tao, speaking to Plaxica.

Don't worry, I'll give back the items once I'm killed. If I'm killed
I'll go post now. And a thanks to Legolas for the armor details!

[dplax]

EDIT: Bozos edited his post, so my objection is removed.

The events with TAO and Plaxica are a bit ahead of the rest of the group. Remember that Plaxica has had to travel a good distance while not much time has passed inside the castle. So be careful about tying the time of day in the castle to what is happening elsewhere as the timelines are currently out of sync with each other. They'll remain that way until the battle in the castle concludes and we can deal with the passage of lengthier periods of time for those characters.

If events outside run too far ahead, I'll slow them down. But for the moment it's full steam ahead as it's not fair to TAO and dplax to hold their characters up indefinitely while things get sorted out in the castle.

[Morgeruat]

Morguerat's shadow walk ability is a hold-over from the time he was a general for Larry, due to the rapid sequence of events surrounding his betrayal and subsequent near-death it was overlooked that such granted powers were still being offered (as upon his death they would have automatically reverted to the mage).
