All subpages of LORE: Brokanian (http://lore.layonara.com/Brokanian) now have the  new navigation links and some pages have concept art added to them.

They are never seen in metal armors; they simply lack the strength to  wear one.

If they can't wear metal armor, why is there an image of their style metal armor?  Just curious.

That's because it'll be the equivalent of plate.

Very interesting and unique fantasy culture.  Look forward to playing a criminal mastermind one in the future!  I love their mentat-level social observation and manipulation personality.

How common are Brokians?
How much of what is on the LORE page would an average commoner know?

Plate mail is more of a style and construction than a material. Plate armors could be made out of chitin, like the exoskeleton of an umber hulk, for instance. Any sufficiently hard and durable material could be made into plate mail.

Of course this doesn't apply here, but modern technology could make plate armor out of a synthetic material like PVC, Kevlar or fiberglass reinforced composites.
