Standard Armour is SIZ 11-15. SIZ 1-5 is halved, SIZ 6-10 is divided by 1.5, rounded to nice numbers, 16-20 is multiplied by 1.5, SIZ 21-15 is doubled, SIZ 26-30 x 2.5, SIZ 31-25 x3.

All ENC Values are in multiples of 0.5, for ease of arithmetic.

All Costs are in Silver Pieces (SP).

Soft Leather includes Cloth. Ringmail includes Bezainted, Ring and Studded Armour. Scalemail includes Scale, Brigadine and Lamellar Armour.
If the terms for each type of armour are incorrect, then I apologise. I am keeping things roughly in line with RQ2/3 and am using those standard terms where possible.

Values for Cuirboilli SIZ 11-15 have been taken from the table on Simon Hibbs’ site.



There is an Excel File at http://www.soltakss.com/rqm02.xls that contains the above table broken down into individual SIZ units.

So, if you ever wanted to know how much a Closed Helm for a SIZ 100 giant weighs and costs, then have a look.

Obviously, it uses formulae which may, or may not, scale, but the figures look reasonable. It should certainly cover trolls without a problem.

At the low end, I have capped the ENC so that the minimum ENC is 0.5. This stops pixies dancing around with ENC 0 plate armour.

Values are based on the SIZ 11 value for each piece of armour, which might cause some problems in itself.

I haven't adjusted the values, so individual pieces might not add up to the value for a suit of armour, but you'll have to live with that, I'm afraid.

Next should be weapons - how heavy is a Medium Shield for a SIZ 100 Giant? Maybe I won't bother.
