[Rq-rules] Re: Playing Using MRQ Rules

[Den, Tony T]

Good point and something I am ashamed to admit I have let slide both as
a GM and player. Even something relatively soft will take a specific
persons body shape (I(ride motorbikes and have full leathers).

Although it is a good way to ensure a bit of party balance - have a
character who is an armourer, or maybe bring one along as a hireling and
have to pay/feed/protect him.

Perhaps, but PCs have a tendency to take armour from fallen foes and so
can collect more expensive armour than they could otherwise reasonably
afford. 
Look at Robin Hood and the number of soldiers/knights he stripped and
sent on their way, he even armoured a poor knight and gave him a good
horse from his armoury.

Swapping armor isn't as easy as some might think (I have worn
mail-shirts that do not fit, and it's NOT comfortable.......

Wearing platearmor that doesn't fit is impossible

Even textile armor is very little flexible when it comes to swapping.

Everybody should have the rule that in order to swap armor (yes-even
helmets) one should have to have an exaxt match, and if (for some
reason) some want to use armor in the wrong size , one should
doubble/tripple the enc-cost.

Changing the size of mail is a dedious task, and (unless you are a
blacksmith, will weaken the rings, as 50% are stanced out and the rest
are welded/riveted together. (Some mail exist that was only butted, but
they are not as solid; that could be used as the difference between the
"Ringmail" 
and the "Chainamil" in the RQ3-armour-list.

Changing the size of textile armorur is easier, but takes at least
doubble the time of altering the size of civil clothes.

Changing the size of plate is a job for a blacksmith.
