Piecemeal Armor

[Lord Lupus the Grey]

Is it balanced well? I have something to say about eastern armor pieces.

I want to make an orc gladiator/barbarian, so want to take theese pieces:

Hands - Lamellar, horn
Legs - Hide armor
Torso - Four-mirror armor

So we have +8 Armor Bonus (Even if we are not a gladiator), -4 check penalty, 30% of A.S. failure and +4 (!) DEX bonus.

The cost is 48 (!!!) gold pieces.

Am I right? I think it's not balanced well and four-mirror armor needs to be a heavy armor, like plate.

[Lord Lupus the Grey]

Sorry, 05 check penalty and 35% A.S. Failure

I do not see anything saying you can't do that but you may have a hard time getting a set of that masterwork or magic.

[Lord Lupus the Grey]

48 GC for a suit of armor, that is MUCH better than a full-plate and is lighter (medium).

I think it's absolutely UNbalanced, but obly for Kikko armor and Four-mirror armor.

Maybe,, it's a mistake?

No, it isn't balanced at all. You can easily make armor that is better in literally every way for, I'm pretty sure, all armors. It makes the standard armor table obsolete.
