	A breastplate is a vest and pants of padded cloth armor over which there is a solid, sculpted sheet of good-quality steel that covers the chest, belly, and groin in the front, the sides below the armpits, and the back down to the lower back. A breastplate also includes articulated lames for the shoulders and scutes for the buttocks. It leaves the arms, hands, feet, and head uncovered. It offers an amazing amount of protection for the body, and the weight and encumbrance reflect this fact. Due to its metal construction which leaves the limbs lightly covered, it adds 2 points of protection against hot weather environmental effects, which stacks with hot weather clothing and other sources of environmental DR.
