>>5312561Another type is mail. Metal rings interlinked which completely nullify cuts from blades and greatly stop thrusts. Blunt impact will completely negate this armor. Slightly louder to move in compared to brigandine or a cuirass. You’ll definitely need to wear cloth armor underneath mail for it.
However, it is cheaper than the brigandine, and much more concealable.
Only exists in grey metallic color, unfortunately.
A rarer armor type, but more effective against blunt impact is scale armor. Small scales of metal attached to leather, forming a fishlike scale on the wearer. More expensive than brigandine, but more likely to deflect strikes. However, not silent compared to other types of armor.
Of course, she could always go for the cuirass. A solid metal plate of armor that stops most strikes to your chest and back. Because of it’s curvature at the middle, it has a chance of deflecting strikes.
It could even withstand shot from a musket or pistol. The most expensive by far, and least convenient to carry.
Fortunately, it is silent to move around in, and can be engraved or decorated with colors of your choice.
