Armour weight Calculator

[azato]

This is a very rough draft of a spreadsheet. You can only input where the the two columns are highlighted yellow. Under the "pick" column type a character in the cell that you want to make selection. Type in a number between 1 and 8 in the "defense" column. In the lower right-hand corner the "Location" table will put x's in locations that you have armour and ERROR in locations where you doubled up on armor.

I am sick of looking at it right now and I will not get back to it for awhile. If anybody want to play with it and post a revision feel free.

My goal was to be able to type in a character's strenght and have the DCV modifiers calculate.

BTW - I borrowed somebody's HIT LOCATION DUDE.

Only good if you use non-realistic weights? i.e. the higher the DEF the more it weighs?

1. I got these number breakdown from fantasy hero 1st ed (yeah, yeah, I know).
2. The totals equaled FRed p. 488
3. I do not think that the non-linear weight progression is non-realistic. Perhaps I should not comment since I do not know about actual armour weights but I don't imagine that a full suit of chain mail (def 6) is only twice as heavy as good leather (def 3), or that full plate (def 8) is only four times as heavy as good cloth. Geometic progression (which I am not sure if this qualifies) occurs quite often in the natural world and I think it seems reasonable here. (Actually, I just thought the numbers were too low.)
4. If you do not like the weights they can be easily modifed on the array tables. If you don't know how, drop me a line and I will tell you.

I cleaned it up a little.
