When calculating the cost of a suit of armor made of extraordinary metals and materials, Battle plate is considered to cost twice as much as standard heavy armor, while War Plate is considered to cost three times as much. This reflects the much greater weight of material these suits demand. In addition to this, a full suit of mithril battle plate or war plate, and the articulating versions of those, are still considered to be heavy armor. Those suits of armor are so massive that even pure mithril cannot give them the properties of medium armor. | When calculating the cost of a suit of armor made of extraordinary metals and materials, Battle plate is considered to cost twice as much as standard heavy armor, while War Plate is considered to cost three times as much.

Articulating Armor has a set of auxiliary armor plates permanently attached to it on swivels and pivots | Articulating Armor has a set of auxiliary armor plates permanently attached to it on swivels and pivots. If the wearer of Articulating Armor moves no more than 5 feet per round(declaring no Move action and only taking a five foot step), they can manipulate (usually by going into a slight crouch, moving arms and legs in certain small ways, and tensing certain muscles) these additional armor plates to increase their armor protection. This is an immediate free action for the proficient user. This is an increase in the inherent AC of the armor itself, not a bonus, for the purposes of stacking. Being flatfooted does NOT affect this bonus as long as the wearer has declared they are accepting the movement penalties while not in combat, but it is bypassed by Touch attacks. | ||
When calculating the cost of a suit of Articulating Armor made of extraordinary metals and materials, all Articulating Armors are 50 percent more expensive than normal, due to the extra material needed and the additional craft work required. Thus, Articulating Full Plate is half again more expensive for the metals used, Articulating Battle Plate is two and a half times more expensive, and Articulating War Plate is 3 and a half times more expensive. | When calculating the cost of a suit of Articulating Armor made of extraordinary metals and materials, all Articulating Armors are 50 percent more expensive than normal, due to the extra material needed and the additional craft work required.

Battle Plate is very similar except the metal used is much thicker, with deeper padding and generally more massive. War Plate is thicker still, and adds extra plating around the groin, armpits, elbows, knees and neck. | ||
The Heavy Armor Optimization Feat is usable with any Articulating armor, even if it is considered to be a medium or light suit of armor. The Heavy Armor Optimization feat is also usable with War Plate and Battle Plate, as long as the wearer is proficient in wearing these types of armor. | The Heavy Armor Optimization Feat is usable with any Articulating armor, even if it is considered to be a medium or light suit of armor.

Cavalry Armor is a standard set of armor with the leggings replaced with heavier and more robust leg plates. Cavalry armor requires the Exotic Armor Proficiency, but proficiency applies to all types of Cavalry Armor. The much heavier and stiffer legs make the armor considerably more protective at the expense of making it far more difficult to walk. This is not an issue when mounted, and so many dedicated riders use Cavalry armors. Even better, when riding a mount while wearing Cavalry armor, the armor class increase granted by the special leggings are also added to the Armor Class of the mount. In all cases, this is +2 armor for the mount, plus any enhancement bonus to AC the armor may possess. This bonus only applies while the rider is mounted and wearing the armor. The movement penalty does not hamper the wearer's ability to mount and dismount nce he has reached his mount. Note that due to the specialized nature of this armor, the movement penalty applies even to characters that may have class or racial abilities that normally negate some or all armor penalties, such as Dread Commandos and Dwarves. | Cavalry Armor is a standard set of armor with the leggings replaced with heavier and more robust leg plates.

When Silkenmail is layered with standard armor this way, the weight of the Silkenmail is halved, rounded up to the nearest pound, and the AC bonus, DR bonus, and ER bonus of the Silkenmail is reduced by 1. The original suit with the lowest Dex modifier is the Dex modifier of the combined suit. After then, all of the other attributes of the combined armor stack together, adding the AC bonus, DR, Armor Check Penalty, Arcane Spell Failure Chance, and Costs. | When Silkenmail is layered with standard armor this way, the weight of the Silkenmail is halved, rounded up to the nearest pound, and the AC bonus, DR bonus, and ER bonus of the Silkenmail is reduced by 1.

When each suit of Silkenmail is made, it is woven in one of two ways. This determines what type of attack the suit will be vulnerable to. "Hardweave" is woven in such a way that the silken mail has a smooth, hard, texture such that slashing attacks skitter off harmlessly, but is easily overcome by a piercing attack. "Tightweave" is woven in such a way that the silkenmail has a rough, raised texture and very tiny spaces between the threads, such that piercing attacks are caught and held harmless but slicing attacks easily slash through the valleys. In game terms, silkenmail DR protects against all melee attacks, but each suit is penetrated by either slashing or piercing damage. This is impossible to tell by looking, but quickly becomes apparent in combat. Note that all silkenmail is also available in masterwork versions at normal armor prices. Masterwork silkenmail, as per the usual masterwork armor rules, has the Armor Penalty reduced by one. Masterwork Silkenmail is very popular with many successful rogues, and a masterwork silkenmail suit or allover suit in black with ambergold threading is often considered the mark of success in those circles. | |||

While any armor can be made of nearly any material, it is very uncommon to see the pure dweomermetals such as Argent or the top-shelf alloys like truemetal in light armor. They simply are poorly suited for such. Also, common sense should be applied: Paramount alloy has no applicablity to hide armor, for example. Surprisingly, glassteel can be used with fabric, hide, padded, and similar | While any armor can be made of nearly any material, it is very uncommon to see the pure dweomermetals such as Argent or the top-shelf alloys like truemetal in light armor. They simply are poorly suited for such. Also, common sense should be applied: Paramount alloy has no applicablity to hide armor, for example. Surprisingly, glassteel can be used with fabric, hide, padded, and similar armors, as Celegian glass-smiths can magically spin glass so thin that it is flexible, and then the entire spool can be converted to glassteel. In general, you see mostly the following materials applied to the following armor weights: | ||
Argent: Replaces some links, or inlaid on the surface. Not usable with cloth or leather armors, but may be added to studded leather.

Further note that a suit of silkenmail can be thus enchanted for more AC, DR, and possibly ER (depending upon add-on metals) and combined with a suit of standard armor. All like bonuses stack in these cases, with the standard silkenmail -1 taken into account. (DR 7/slashing will not stack with DR 7/-, for example, because the bonuses are not identical.) The difficulty check for combining such a massively enchanted suit of armor is likely to be quite high, and failure ruins the silkenmail as usual. | Further note that a suit of silkenmail can be thus enchanted for more AC, DR, and possibly ER (depending upon add-on metals) and combined with a suit of standard armor.
