Armor Level Requirments??

[Teo]

Hey,

I was looking at some of the armor level requirements, and i found that some of them seem a bit off. For example, all of platinum armors have a level of 11, but the half plate is level 10, and the full plate is a level 15. Same with iron, every armor is level 8, but splint mail and half plate are 6, and full plate is 12. I was wondering if there was a reason for some of the level requirements.

Thanks,
Teo

It is because the full plates have slashing immunity, it gives a huge boost in level req.

Also on the lower suits the style of armor affects the level.

Full Plate offers more AC than say Scale Mail, thus the Full Plate has a higher base level to equip. Once you get into the higher level suits that becomes an insignificant amount and doesnt affect them anymore. Because of how much the added benefits affect them.
