Small feather weight chain mail/elite plate

Hi, this is my first post, and I was wondering if you could possibly combine small leather armour, and a spool of heavy wire to create featherwieght chain mail, and then if you could make elite plate from that? I have been trying to find some small leather armour, but I haven't had any luck. The only thing i come accross is small leather guard armour. Does anyone know where I can find small leather armour. The merchants dont seem to sell it.

 

I do not believe that would work... but you would have to ask SnowMane to be sure... unless I'm mistaken she was the expert in the areas of tech last tyme a question like this arose... oh, and btw, welcome to the board! beware though, some of the members are dangerous!! *chuckles* actually, some will be wierd b/c your a noob, but most are pretty nice...

 

Merchants do sell it. I ALWAYS steal my first small leather armor from the blacksmith in Shrouded Hills. Besides, I think that the general store keeper in Tarant has one small leather armor every day.
Magnus is wearing small leather armor when you first meet him.

 

Of course you can. Otherwise it would kind of suck to be a dwarven smith.
It can also be done with large armour.

 

Oh and there is an elite plate mail in the game that can be stolen by using a fate point. Though if you're a melee character and not bothered with the weight issue, it makes a lot more sense to steal the mechined plate from the dwarf blacksmith in Caladon.

 

Or the Iron Clan Armour. That, as the smacktards put it "just plain r0x0rs".

 

Never seen the Iron clan armor. What's the stats?
Oh and a question about the Iron Clan quest. If I have no prowl and want to stay good- how do I obtain that "book of Durin's truth"?

 

Hm. Don't have the stats right here with me, but it's, er... good.

If you've been to The Place of Lost Voices you can buy The Book of Durin's Truth from the widow Misk .

 

Oh so you can BUY it? Cool! And I assume you find the Iron Clan Armor or schematics for it when you find the Iron Clan? What's the Iron Clan armour weight? Heavier or lighter than 1000?

 

Er... heavier, I think. Maybe.
Yes, you find the Iron Clan armour in the Iron Clan-thingy. You also find the Iron Clan Hammer, which is also great (don't remember the stats though, heh)

 

are there schematics for those? and if so, where ?!

 

No schmeatics, just the items themselves.

 

And lest we forget: The Iron Clan Armour gives the same stat increases as the machined plate. =)

Yeah, Iron Clan armor is awsome. Related question: Is it possible to make a Large machined plate mail if you're a half-ogre smith? (Don't laugh, its possible. ) If so, what does it look like when its equiped?

 

Well, if you had a Half-Ogre Sickly Child was it, the background that gives you +6 in, it would be possible.

 

yeah, personally i think the character modeling in arcanum and fallout 2 left much to be desired. its a little better in arcanum, but i wish someone would mod fallout so you can see armor on your followers. as for arcanum, i wish there was a little more visual diversity amongst pcs, and npcs alike, (you can change your skin tone and clothing color in baldur's gate, please dont start bitching about how much you hate that game though, theres plenty of it going on in general discussion right now anyway) i'm not asking for diablo 2 diversity, more along the lines of something to let your charactr stand out in screen shots is all. and i wish you could see my top hat in arcanum...

 

i guess their visible top hat technology just wasnt up to snuff...
