The Crusader: Giant Modified Full Fibre Environmental Body Armour

By: Dustin M. Ramsey (DustinM@rifts-rpg.com)
Based on Concepts and Game Design by: Kevin Siembieda and Palladium Books (http://www.palladiumbooks.com)


As the name implies, this full suit of body armour resembles the knights of the ancient crusade because of the chain mail like M.D.C. fibre and knee length skirt. Recent fashion has provided a traditional knight's sur coat and even the helmet is often designed to resemble the European knights of old.

This armour is often used by Rahu-Men, Todakka, and other giant-sized R.C.C.'s that prize mobility over both price and the level of protection provided.
