Worse Quality Armours
Just a minor addendum brought on by the article I did about justifications for armour being better quality I thought I would add something about poorer quality armours
The easiest explanation or justification is just that its a substandard version of the normal armour however doing other things will make perfectly good armour behave worse.
Wearing ill fitting inadequate or no padding under metal armours
+1 fatigue factor, -1 DR, -1DR & +2 fatigue factor respectively.
The armour itself being ill fitting - not a problem with Chain mail as its very forgiving but defiantly one with the semi rigid armours such as leather scale banded and splinted and of course plate mail.
+1 to +3 fatigue factor depending on how bad it is and remembering plate mail has to be custom made or heavily adjusted if a close fit.
Just not dressed yet
Just wearing the padding or under armour as one can sleep in the padding more comfortably than in the armour especially on a cold night a gambleson is lovely and warm the mail worn over it is a very good heat sink and wear that even with the padding and you will freeze.
normal under armour padding is effectively heavy robes and the thicker sort is padded armour when worn on its own
