SGII medieval armor conversions (fading suns)

David, unless advanced metal alloys are used [ie. unpowered powerarmour],
armour dice values need to be shifted down to reflect
archaic armour's inability to deflect firearms/energy weapons. [Although
some armours would protect against low powered firearms & possibly lasers].
