Table 4: Optional Partial Barding

The following chart may be used to determine the armor class of partial barding. Bonuses are added to the mount's base AC.

Armor	Full	Chanfron/	Cuello/	Flanchard/
Type	Barding	Poitrel	Crinet	Crupper

Leather	6	-----------------(see notes)----------------
Scale	5	-----------------(see notes)----------------

Chain	4	**	0	**
Banded	3	**	**	**
Plate	2	1 ea.	**	1 ea.
Field Plate	1	1 ea.	**	1 ea.
Full Plate	0	1 ea.	1 ea.	1 ea.

Notes:

Leather: The only effective combination less than full leather is half leather, which gives protection to the front of the horse only.

Scale: Half scale protects the front of the horse only. Any other combination of at least three pieces (except crinet) gives a +1 bonus to armor class.

** Any two pieces give a +1 bonus to AC.
