I imagine there are plenty of other Piecemeal armor systems already, but here (http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/H1Owkrvk-)'s my take on them anyway.
Follow the link above to the Homebrewery Document, and please tell me what you think of them. (note, the site works best on Chrome).
I would very much appreciate feedback, if not for anything else then for proof-reading possible inconsistencies I may have overlooked myself.
In addition, I would like to hear suggestions for weights of individual piecemeal parts depending on their material used, such as leather and metal for example. Piecemeal parts are not intended to be sold by armorers, but they should have reasonable weights which may become relevant.
Thanks in advance!
PS. For further context, these are intended for a post-apocalyptic real-world based campaign (hence Titanium = Mithral, Chromium = Adamantine* as the most common special materials).
Special materials are intended to provide means to have armor that are effectively equal to magic armor of up to +3 bonus.
*: Why Chromium = Adamantine? Well, because as the rules are written, DMG says that adamantine armor is reinforced with adamantine. Not made entirely from adamantine. Chromium is used in similar manner. In china, I can't remember in which dynasty however, steel weapons were coated with chromium so that they have remained in perfect shape and strength to these days. Chromium is used even now to coat steel to better withstand physical damage.
