[RQ-Rules] Unifying Knockback and Falling Damage

[Bjorn Stolen]

I love when people open for discussing reality! Plate armor is usually always worn with some kind of padding under. (Just try and put pots or pans on your head and ask someone to swing a blow with a hammer...)

 

The question is: Is the plate armour in RQ(3) calculating some padding into the stats for "plate"?

 
I've revised my armorrules, introdusing 3 stats; bashing, cutting and piercing, and have altered enc. cost and armor points, but the way the original stats are, I think that the plate armour is unerasonabely bulky\heavy (enc), and that there are two solutions: 

 
1: The armourers in RQ are lousy incompetent cheats, that marvel in making plate moure cumbersome to wear than brigantine\scale.

 
2: That the rules include a layer of padding in the plate armor.
