Proposal for new armor prices and types:
- Added 'Lamellar leather' as a new light armor.
- Added 'Lamellar metal' as a new medium armor.
- Replaced 'Banded Mail' heavy armor with 'Laminar Plate'.
- Significantly adjusted all prices upwards.
For reference: Core rules armor table
Note: Masterwork prices still need to be revised. Core uses +1500dk, which is very costly for some lower-end armors, and negligible for the high-end armors. Opinions are welcome. Also note that special material usage might adjust price and stats accordingly.

Lamellar Armor
Lamellar armour is made from individual armour scales, which are laced together to form a strip of armour which appears to be solid but is not. The properties of specific suits and pieces of lamellar armor are determined by their material.
Laminar Plate
Laminar armour is an armour made from horizontal overlapping rows or bands of, usually small, solid armour plates called lames with the main feature that the metal strips are fastened using sliding rivets.
All other armor types
The description of other armor types is as found in the Core book.
