Wasn't sure where to post this and combat seemed closest to the subject.
Store-bought mesh handguards - In prime they appraise as heavy plate, in the test instance as brigandine.
I've always worn plate on my hands while wearing chain everywhere else. Extra protection for the hands seemed like something a bard ought to do as a concession to his/her livelihood. Because of that, my HP ranks are my second best armor and within 80% of LC. In the test instance, because the plate handguards converted to brigandine, I'm seeing a significant hindrance bump. I carry LC gloves for those times when any extra hindrance can mean survival, so it's not going to mess anything up if I have to find new plate-level hand protection.
Just wondering if it was intended that some 2.0 heavy plate items become brigandine instead of plate?
