Full Plate Mail is very heavy cumbersome suit of armour which is made from steel plates welded and shaped to fit the body. While offering a high degree of protection against most forms of attack, it takes its toll on the wearer by tiring them, making them uncomfortable and slowing them down. It is best suited for powerful fighters with big heavy weapons in large areas. Sneaking around is virtually impossible in Full Plate Mail because every move and step is loud and obvious. Full Plate differs from other plate armour in that it is a 'complete' rig with very heavy steel plates. much longer to put on!
