Field Plate Armor



Field plate armor dispenses with the chain backing of plate mail to save weight. Instead, a light suit of padding, or akteon is worn beneath it. The considerable weight of this armor is distributed over the wearer's body, and a trained knight can lie down, stand up, or vault into a saddle while wearing this armor. It is most popular with Fallen and Paladin Knights, and wealthy Fighters who can afford it.
