What are the benefits to low-AC armor having a +1 bonus? For example, +1 Leather Armor has the same total AC as nonmagical Studded Leather Armor, and +1 Splint Armor has the same AC as nonmagical Plate Armor Unlike with magic weapons that overcome resistances on dozens of monsters, there doesn't seem to be much point to having armor be magical "just for the sake of it"
Is Splint Armor Broken? - Giant in the Playground Forums The thing is, if you can make full body custom fitted gothic plate at all, then ALL the armor you make is plate Splint is obsoleted by half plate, or a back and breast, or partial plate, or any of a hundred variations of "cheaper plate" that are all of cheaper, better protection, lighter, and easier to move in than the roughly equivalent chain
Samurai Great Armor - Giant in the Playground Forums I was under the impression that metal hauberks and helms and suits that 5e calls 'half plate' were actually common for infantry and professional soldiers on the battlefield once armor plate became a thing, because it made that much difference in survivability on the battlefield Only irregulars and militia wore nonmetal armor on western
Would Brigandine be Heavy Armor? - Giant in the Playground Forums Generally, I think the gap for light to heavy armor is not as wide as we might envision Leather armor seems to come off as scale armor whenever I try to look up historical examples *As I understood it, the chest piece is the actual Brigandine, where the gauntlets, greaves and helmet would be something worn along with in army situations
Lamellar Armor? - Giant in the Playground Forums Padded armor is way too bad, leather armor almost certainly didn't look like that, and studded leather and splint mail never existed at all Neither does banded mail, scale mail, and plate mail, because mail means chain, not armor Chain shirt, chainmail, breastplate, and full plate are the only armor types that reflect actual European armor

dnd 5e 2014 - Role-playing Games Stack Exchange How much gold and how much time, baseline, does it cost a merchant to craft each piece of armor listed (8 total)? Non-official rules are allowed as long as they are widely used I've scoured many sources like the DMG, in addition to the other official 5e sources, and popular homebrews like the Sane Magic Item Prices guide
Studded Leather VS Half Plate VS Full Plate Every Little Detail Heavy armor can match that more economically than Half-Plate It can also push it up to 18 with Full Plate, but there's a few catches First, you need to have a good enough Strength score or you'll be slow, and being slow is especially bad for characters who want to engage in melee (kiting and the like is already very effective against them in 5e)
Full plate or adamantine splint? - Giant in the Playground Forums It's my job to take the brunt of attacks while the dwarven paladin behind me slams home with his halberd I currently have a set of adamantine splint mail with a shield, giving me an AC of 19 I'm torn on trying to decide if I should save up for a set of full plate, or keep the splint
Full Plate Mail vs Adamantium Splint Mail - Giant in the Playground Forums Absolutely,make the Adamantine Splint Male over the Full Plate Mathematically your AC is lower, but the overal damage reduced by avoiding a Critical hits is a larger savings than the +1 AC Secondly, magical rare armor is just plain cooler than mundane armor
