Brigandine
Type: Armor (Medium)
Cost: 675sp
This armor is made of cloth with flexible metal plates sewn within. It is relatively light and flexible, though difficult and costly to manufacture.
As Medium Armor, brigandine provides 2 Armor but only reduces the wearer’s Movement by 3 (instead of by 4).
Helmets
Type: Armor (light, medium, or heavy; see below)
Cost: Variable (see below)
Previous armor entries (including the brigandine, above) assume that the wearer does not also wear a helmet.
Helmets come in three distinctive types:
| Helmet Type | Cost | Covers… |
| Light | 36sp | Sides, back of head |
| Medium | 120sp | Sides, back of head |
| Heavy | 390sp | Sides and back of head, visor for face |
Light helmet: Ignores up to one result of a 5 on an opposing Melee or Ranged Skill roll.
Medium helmet: Ignored up to two results of a 5 on an opposing Melee or Ranged Skill roll; reduces Movement by 1 and imposes a -1D penalty on Perception rolls requiring hearing.
Heavy helmet: Ignored up to three results of a 5 on an opposing Melee or Ranged Skill roll; reduces Movement by 1 and imposes a -1D penalty on Perception rolls requiring hearing or sight.
Pavise
Type: Shield (Heavy)
Cost: 90sp
This shield is used by crossbowmen. Pavises measure approximately 5 feet in height and two feet in width and is designed to be propped up with wooden beams to provide cover for crossbowmen as the reload and fire from safety.
Putting up a Pavise takes three Full Actions. A Pavise provides 2D Cover Dice for the user.
Taking down a Pavise required two Full Actions.
This shield cannot be carried and used as a normal shield: must be deployed, when deployed cannot be moved, and provides Cover Dice instead of Parry.
Seax
Type: Melee weapon (light)
Cost: 80sp
The seax is a long, straight blade with a length of approximately 16 to 20 inches. The weapon is somewhere between a knife and a shortsword in size. These are martial weapons often seen in the hands of expeditionary forces, pirates, explorers, and tribal peoples in remote regions of the world.
Unlike daggers, seaxes cannot be thrown. However, thanks to their superior cutting edges, a Melee Roll that achieves one or more result of a 6 ignores 1 point of Armor.
