What's the lowest hindrance plate setup? Lumium and the 'light plate' templates? Or is there something better?

Depends on what you really want? Protection or hinderance? Covellite is softer but not as good in the protection range.

Suddenly it spits out some niniam field plate onto the floor.

Well, they're saying over on the 3.0 boards that hindrance is going to be the real killer for plate wearing armor terts so I suppose lowering that is more important to me than protection is.
How bad of a protection drop are we talking about with covellite vs lumium? Epidia lists it as 35 hardness vs 75 which made me assume it'd be garbage for armor.

Do softer metals result in lower hindrance at the same density?
I've only toyed a bit with armorsmithing, so I'm not sure what role the attributes aside from physical and elec/thermal really affect in creation.

Hardness does nothing for armor, hinderance is only changed by weight of the piece.

Whoops, then covellite might be a lot better of a choice than I'd thought.
Anyone else want to weight in before I go spending up my reserves on different plate sets?

Since min density is 3, lumium will be better than covellite.

I'll make a set of both Lumium amd Covelite and we shall see. Or i think Secretia has some of my off shoot armor alloys in his shop. I'll do the covellite to 3 density in HP. I'm a little perturbed after I made my steel-alloy, Ice steel came out. (I think the GM's stole my formula)

I just posted this in the warrior mage 3.0 folder, but figured not many people saw it.
Here is a covellite set I forged up. It's 3.0 density so it should have the exact same hindrance stats as lumium. Far cheaper too. It has been lightened and tempered.
> app plate careful
The full plate is heavy plate.
The plate looks like it offers protection for the following areas:
right arm
left arm
right leg

>> Will it force me to sell a kidney or a first born
Nah. I can sell/make covellite full plate for 30 plats. The hard part is getting all the covellite. It's pretty common but taking the time to gather it all up is a pain.
Lumium will probably run at least 100 plats. The light full plate is 100 volume, so if you were buying lumium at 1 plat per volume and the person didn't charge to make it, you could probably get away from 100. But you can also buy less lumium and cut it with tin to save some costs.
Lumium is also 500% harder to make so you will probably need someone with 600-700+ mech to make a full plate set. Although it's much easier if you grab all the individual pieces.

You can get below 3 in density if you hone a weapon. Honing reduces impact damage and prevents you from balancing the weapon. So most people do nto ask for this to be done.

Ahhh. For some reason I was thinking weapons couldn't drop below 3.0 even with honing. Oh, this is why.
Epedia entry.
Honing
Honing requires a grindstone, a wire brush, and some oil.
Honing a finished weapon will reduce it's weight by 8% (round up), but will not drop the weapon down below it's 3 density equivalent, or by more than 5 stones. For each stone of weight removed, one point of impact is lost (point, not category).
Note: a weapon can be honed or balanced, but not both!
Begin by STUDYing the appropriate page in your weaponsmithing book. Next TURN GRINDSTONE until it is up to speed, then PUSH GRINDSTONE WITH <weapon>. Periodically, you may be required to remove the metal shavings by RUBbing the weapon with a wire brush.

Although I'll admit I have no idea if volume affects hindrances directly, just an observation.

Ah, I missed that, thanks. So then they have the same total volume. So, back to the previous question then: is one combination any less hindering than the other?

this is the BEST and lowest hinderance plate. 9/15 hinderance. But look at the protection and absorption. That is PRE NERF Kantons Killing Fields high end drop. There are matching sleeves as well to be found. Course it be pricey but we are talking say 1k plat or so that is three or four times cheeper than Damite and a LOT less hindering.
The field plate is plate armor.
The plate looks like it offers protection for the following areas:
right leg
left leg
chest
abdomen
back
You feel certain that a dull lumium field plate appears to impose high (9/15) maneuvering hindrance and overwhelming (14/15) stealth hindrance, offering:
very high (8/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for puncture attacks.
great (9/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for slice attacks.
very good (6/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for impact attacks.
very high (8/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for fire attacks.
very high (8/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for cold attacks.
high (7/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for electrical attacks.
If you were only wearing a dull lumium field plate you could expect your maneuvering to be rather hindered and your stealth to be overwhelmingly hindered.
You believe that the field plate is of average construction (9/18), and are in pristine condition (98-100%).
The field plate is made with metal.
You are certain that the field plate weighs exactly 290 stones.

There is also Half Plate version with same hinderance. Full plate version is same awsome protection but hinderance creeps up to 11/15.
The half plate is plate armor.
The plate looks like it offers protection for the following areas:
right arm
left arm
chest
abdomen
back

very high (8/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for puncture attacks.

very high (8/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for fire attacks.
very high (8/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for cold attacks.
high (7/15) protection and exceptional (14/18) damage absorption for electrical attacks.
If you were only wearing a dull lumium half plate your maneuvering would be somewhat hindered and your stealth would be moderately hindered.
But considering all the armor and shields you are wearing or carrying, you are currently moderately hindered and your stealth is rather hindered.
You are certain that the half plate is extremely resistant to damage (15/18), and are rather scuffed up (70-79%).
The half plate is made with metal.
You are certain that the half plate weighs exactly 325 stones.
