This thread is just for kicks, in advance; nothing srs to be seen here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, with the discussion regarding a buff to Legionnaire, I keep wondering. Wouldn't it be gloriously fantastic if Legionnaire had some super light armor that is specific to it's class? So, my mind starts racing with ideas:
-It can't really look like ACTUAL legionnaire armor, can it? That would break with the whole medieval theme, after all. Is there a way to "crusaderize" Legionnaire armor, without it looking totally ridiculous?
Does this look too roman to fit into NI?: -Also, if the armor was hero specific, then like other hero-specific armor (imperial for RG, or zwei-only armor), it's probably going to be fairly expensive I'm guessing..
-Theoretically speaking, how heavy would our imaginary Legionnaire-only armor be? I'm guessing for it to make sense, not be OP, but at the same time be light-enough to allow the legionnaire some decent agility. No more than 25 weight, at least..maybe 20 weight?
-How strong would it be? The same as striped/heavy swadian lam maybe, so as not to be OP?
Feel free to post any pics of what might be some cool looking legionnaire armor, that isn't too roman.
EDIT: Here's some much less roman looking armor:
