As the mod is already loaded with mail armour types *, and there seem to be so many players yearning for plate armour, I propose to actually add a new set of armour to please the plate armour purists.

The recipe will be the standard armour recipe but with plates instead of ingots and a piece of string in one of the central slots. It shall be craftable on a vanilla CT.

The specific properties will be:


 * It will have a +9 modifier against damage from plates and other crockery.


 * Boots will grant the player a speed boost on ice, effect level II.


 * Durability: 5 for helmet, 8 for chestplates, 7 for leggings and 4 for boots.


 * Wearing a full set will give players a confidence boost, resulting in a shining aura. This will not grant any combat buffs, other than the usual shock and awe on other players.


 * None of the other armour modifiers will be applicable.


 * It will be repairable, but not reforgeable.

As special addition one may consider to add a Hobbit variant with some nice textural flavour. That would be craftable on a Hobbit CT.

I'd also suggest to add this in the food fight update, PB35. That would seem appropriate.

I bet Gruk and Kars will have a jolly fun time designing both models and textures for this, so I feel spending effort in providing example models and/or textures would be void.

* Even though most look like mail or scaled mail armour, they are, it's great, it's true.
