When it comes to armour, you need to think about what your are trying to accomplish. Are you going for cheapest, easiest to make yourself, best looking, or most effective on the field. As far a cost goes, chainmaille is the cheapest to do if done yourself but takes alot of time. Leather, depending one your abilities, is cheap doing yourself but takes more effort into learning how to do it well. And platte is expensive and not many here can just do their own. But if your looking for most effective on the field, then you'll probably be disappointed to know that if you can't fight with without it, you cant fight well with it. In fact, it will probably hinder you at first. But if you decide that you want armour, then you should probably go for look, because look on the field is almost as important as your abilities. Because you can always become a better fighter over time, but if you look like ****, I'll kill you. Chainmaille slows you down if your not somewhat built, but after a while you get use to whatever your wearing.
