SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: tleilaxu;18776this past weekend i was walking around The Wawel in Krakow, and i saw all these different sorts of armor. some were chain mail, some were plate mail, etc etc. none were magic, of course.

four basic categories of armor, clothes, light, medium, heavy (as well as shields).
Each category of armor has a basic AC value. For example, lets say light armor has a basic +2 AC value. Then, we have different levels of (non-magical) quality.

Light Armor
Poor Quality +1 AC
Normal Quality +2 AC
Good Quality +3 AC
Excellent Quality +4 AC
Amazing Quality +5 AC
Supreme Quality +6 AC

For medium armor, say the Normal AC bonus would be +4 or +5. Then, you can call the armor type whatever you want, be it scale, or ring, or chain, or whatever.

None were magical? Did you have Detect Magic up, or did they let you try them all on? I wouldn't throw around such heavy-handed accusations unless you were absolutely certain.

Poor Quality is +1? "Poor" quality? "Poor"?
I'd say +0... or changing the term.
