Item: Lamellar Breastplate
Slats of lacquered steel or other metal held together with cord, whether leather or silk, make up most lamellar breastplates. The lacquering prevents the metal from corroding.
Trait Effects
Hindering: This armor is so heavy and bulky it slows you down no matter what. You take a –5 penalty to all your Speeds (to a minimum of a 5-foot Speed). This is separate from and in addition to the armor's Speed penalty, and affects you even if your Strength or an ability lets you reduce or ignore the armor's Speed penalty.
Laminar: The armor is made up of layered sections, so when it breaks, it isn't as much of a problem. The status penalty to AC if this armor is broken is –1 for broken medium armor, –2 for broken heavy armor, or no penalty for broken light armor.
Armor Specialisation Effects
The interwoven components and carefully layered materials are designed to cushion impacts and deflect piercing points.
Medium Armor: You gain resistance to piercing damage equal to 1 + the value of the armor's potency rune.
