Armour of the Known Realms v3.0
Fair thee well, my friends. And unto you I bring this, a tome of armours from all of the known kingdoms of men and even some from beyond! Or something like that The following are statistics using the Sundered Epoch: Generations armor creation rules. We tried to organize the armors based on their appearance through history and region. Thus you will find European armors together and Asian armors together, etc. This document will be updated frequently. Each version will include a revision number. If significant changes are made, such as the inclusion of a new set of species, it will be considered a full version change (thus 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and so on). Minor revisions to add new races or make corrections will be minor versions (thus 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.)

Armor
The armor system below can be used in any RPG to create piece-meal armor for fantasy, science fiction, or modern games. You can adapt this system to any RPG simply by changing the Base Armor Rating to match the materials that you are using in your game.
Terms
BAR Base Armor Rating. This is the rough average protection that the armor provides. C/P/S/B Crush, Pierce, Slash, Burn. Armor acts differently against various types of attacks. However, these are optional in the SEG system. Hit Locations There are twelve Hit Locations including the Head, Face, Chest, Abdomen, Forearms & Hands (x2), Arms & Shoulders (x2), Legs (x2), and Shins & Feet (x2). TAR Total Armor Rating is an average of the protection for each of the 12 hit locations
Creating Armor
Armor in the Sundered Epoch: Generations RPG reduces damage. You can create virtually any kind of armor for the game by mixing and matching different types of armor. To create your own armor, start with the Base Material table to help determine your armors Base AR. Then decide which Hit Locations the armor protects. There are twelve Hit Locations including the Head, Face, Chest, Abdomen, Forearms & Hands (x2), Arms & Shoulders (x2), Legs (x2), and Shins & Feet (x2). At its most basic, SEG uses the Total AR, which is an average of all armor on the characters body. But if you are using the optional rules for Hit Locations you can use the armor value in each location. Lastly, you can use the C/P/S/B values to determine your armor value verses weapons of each type. Finally we come to Armor Weight. The Hit Location/Weight table lists the percentage weight of a each location. The Base Material table lists the Weight of an entire suit made of each material. This assumes all 12 hit locations are covered. Lastly, a Hit Location can be covered by different materials. Assuming that approximately of the hit location is covered by each material, use the average AR of the two materials. Decimals round up. The most obvious example would be vambraces and gauntlets or shins and boots.

Metal Armor Description

Plate Armor is designed with large plates covering a majority of the hit location. This provides maximum protection by the metal. At joints, they are generally articulated and joined together to create overlapping protection similar in appearance to a lobster tail. Chainmail is made by linking together thousands of rings of metal. This makes for incredibly flexible armor that it is highly effective against slashing weapons but very poor against crushing and piercing weapons. Doublemail is chainmail with twice as many links. Lamellar is made of hundreds of small plates that are laced together. This creates a rather flexible suit that also retains its strength. Brigandine armor is often lamellar armor that has been covered with a layer of leather or cloth. Laminated armor is made from overlapping plates of metal creating an effect similar to shingles on a roof. Scale armor is made of hundreds of small overlapping plates in the shape of triangles, half-circles, or other shapes. Splinted armor is made with a backing of leather with steel strips or splints to reinforce it.

Weapons
Almost any object can be used as a weapon. As a result the SEG system uses the following method to help you design weapons for your game.
Designing Weapons
In this section, we cover the basics of weapons, their designs, and accessories. By following the guides below, you can convert almost any type of weapon from the real world into the game. All weapons have the following common traits: 1. Weapon Accuracy 2. Glance Dice 3. Glance Modifier
Weapon Accuracy
All weapons are assumed to be of average quality. However, some weapons may have a modifier to their Accuracy due to their quality. Generally speaking, well-made weapons will give a bonus to the Shot Accuracy while poor quality weapons will give a penalty. Typically this modifier is no greater than +/-1.
Glance Dice
Glance Dice are used to determine how much Damage a weapon is capable of causing. Most weapons have from 1 to 5 dice to roll for Glance. As you can see from the Glance Dice table, no weapon can have less than 1d5 Glance however smaller weapons that become less lethal cause Temporary or Instantaneous damage.
Glance Dice
Dice 1d5 1d5 1d5 2d5 3d5 4d5 Damage Type Instantaneous Temporary Physical Physical Physical Physical Sample Weapons Pepper spray, Cat Scratch Unarmed Attacks, Cat Bite Tiny Weapons (Up to 25cm) Small Weapons (Up to 50cm) Medium Weapons (0.5m to 1m) Large Weapons (Over 1m)
Glance Modifiers
Glance Dice can have modifiers added to them determined by the weight of the weapon, quality, and other considerations.
Hand weapons add the characters Strength score to the Glance. Hand weapons add the weight of the weapon to the Glance. Round decimals of .5 up.
Melee Weapons
Melee weapons are objects that are used in close combat, face to face; hand to hand. They have special traits that are different than other weapons.
Melee Weapon Properties

Some melee weapons have special properties. Awkward Awkward weapons are and cumbersome and less accurate. As a result they suffer a -2 penalty to both attacks and defense. These are typically larger or heavier weapons. Combination A weapon that combines crushing and piercing, such as a flanged mace or a spiked club, is treated as a crushing weapon for Glance. When a combination weapon hits a character in the head, face, chest, or abdomen and its Glance is equal to or higher than the targets Resilience, the target must roll a Stun Check even if it did not cause damage.

are not using hit locations then any attack roll that results in an even number is treated as a head or body shot. In addition, the weapon gains +1d5 physical damage if it penetrates armor. Crush When a crushing weapon hits a character in the head or face and its Glance is equal to or higher than the targets Resilience, the target must roll a Stun Check even if it did not cause damage. If you are not using hit by Randal Snyder sunderedepoch@hotmail.com
Free Downloadable Content locations then any attack roll that results in an even number is treated as a head or body shot. Entanglement Entanglement weapons can be used to entangle an opponent instead of causing damage. Entanglement is treated like a Grab, which is described under Grabbing & Wrestling under the Optional Combat Rules. To break free of entanglement, the character must spend Combat Actions on a Contest to break the hold. Both characters use their appropriate weapon skill and the winner succeeds in their action. Finesse Finesse weapons are typically light weight and rely on accuracy rather than raw strength. As a result they can use either Precision/Reaction or the Athletics sub-attribute to determine the Shot Accuracy. Flail A weapon that is a type of flail is flexible and can wrap over shields and around weapons. These weapons cause a -2 penalty to any block with a shield or weapon used against them. Many flails can also cause entanglement. One or Two Handed Almost all weapons can be used two-handed, however some weapons require two hands due to their size or weight. Generally speaking, a character can use a weapon single-handed if it is about the height of the character. A normal human can be as tall as 2 meters and can use a 1 meter sword single handed. An ogre that is 4 meters
www.SunderedEpoch.org tall could use a 2 meter sword one-handed. The height of the weapon is only a rough estimate and the Narrator has the final rule. If a character uses a single-handed weapon in two hands, they can cause more damage and gain +1d5 bonus to their Glance Roll. Conversely, using a two-handed weapon in one hand will cause a -2 Accuracy and -2 Glance due to lack of leverage. Pierce Piercing weapons gain a bonus +1d5 physical damage if they penetrate armor and cause damage, but suffer a -2 penalty to the Shot Accuracy since the damaging surface is much smaller and easier to deflect. This extra die is not used for a Glance of Fives. Push Some weapons can generate enough force to push characters back. If the Glance Roll total is equal to or higher than the targets Resilience score then they are pushed 1d5 meters. These weapons are typically very heavy and possibly awkward. Shield-like Weapons with large surface areas can be used like shields to block archery weapons, firearms, etc. and use the weapons Defense SA. Slash Slashing weapons gain no specific bonuses and are considered the standard by which melee weapons are measured.
Defending with Weapons

A character can try to defend against a Melee attack using a hand weapon instead of his Dodge. Unless the weapon is specifically designed for defense it will suffer a -2 penalty to any defense rolls. On a successful block, the weapon absorbs the Glance and could be damaged as a result (see the rules for durability on the website). Most weapons cannot be used to block firearms or archery weapons. However, shield-like weapons can.
