AmoryBlaine Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Arming doublet, Gambeson. It's a jacket, a padded one. It won't have any defense qualities. I mean, it could, I suppose. Available to everyone. Not sure what colours it ought to be in. But yes. Thoughts? Link to comment
Fortport Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Other than historian nuts, or ancient history enthusiasts, who would wear this? A gambeson should absolutely have protective properties as well, especially cutting and blunt weapons. This is armor we're talking about here. Edited March 9, 2020 by Fortport Link to comment

If you implement a gambeson that doesn't protect against anything, I will literally eat my shoes! If it was something that was designed to look like a gambeson without actually being one, that's another story. P.S. I love gambesons. Edited March 9, 2020 by Fortport Link to comment
DronzTheWolf Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 This should be available through the swordsman merchant with armor value, but an unarmored version would probably fit in for some of the colder frontier worlds. Link to comment
Carver Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 There's no reason it shouldn't count as armour in any iteration. That'd be equivalent to having 'aesthetic chainmail' or 'aesthetic bulletproof vests'. Just throw this 'loadout items can't have armour values' shit out the fucking window honestly and start giving coats and similar things varying and realistic values. Link to comment
DronzTheWolf Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 This reminds me that I need to finish my Unathi Surcoats/tabards project. Sometime later, I suppose. Link to comment
DanseMacabre Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I do not think it is wise to include medieval armor in our loadout. Link to comment
