Armor Of Proof

I did a post saying that for your armor to be "proof" against an Elizabethan musket you needed to protect against the average hit from 4d+2 pi++.  That's 16 points of raw damage.

But "armor of proof" isn't supposed to protect you from a musket.

It's to protect you from the opposing cavalry whom will be using pistols.

A pistol of this period is a wheellock doing 2d-1 pi+ or a petronel doing 2d+2 pi+.  That's 6 and 9 respectively.

That's a much easier target goal to hit achieve.

More importantly, DR 6 is affordably available for the average adventurer and demi-lancer.
