weapons.</font><br>

long lost the formulas I used. I think I started with the lowest
non-metal armor (quilted) and figured cost increase for each change of AV
( probably something like AV to some power) times the change in DR
(percentage increase times some factor) divided by the change in weight
(again as a percentage, times some factor). This factoring allowed me
to justify the pricing on some of the various armors that had wildly
differt prices in the original rules, but with no effective difference in
stats (You can have Banded ring, AV 2 at 12 pounds for 2GC, or you can
spring for the premium armor of Brigandine, AV 2 at _16_ pounds for
4GC....right).</font><br>

form of special metal alloy type thing as well but never got around to
really detailing it or naming it :)<br>
