Hmmm. What level of body armor would you buy if you were shopping?

I'm thinking Level II-A, but half tempted to step up to Level II. I dont believe I would need a Level III-A setup, although I am contemplating getting SAPI plates for it "just in case".

What would you guys get if you were shopping?

I would bring a Bag of Holding.

What does a unlimited amount of storage do body armor wise?

Bag of Devouring would be better. You could throw it at them. (I am a game geek)

III-A with Sapi plates, unless you're wearing it all day, every day in a non-warzone environment. Then II.

Think II is good enough? I like the idea of being as light and flexible as possible, but that little extra from II-A seems like it would be nice if you needed it.

Until the completion of the investigation and incarceration of the murderer I'd rather not go into details please.

III-A. It's not that bad to wear around all day. Can give you some additional insulation if you work outside a lot too. The additional flexible plate doesn't add that much annoyance either.

duh stupid, because if you get stabbed with the dagger of power you have to roll 20+ on 4d6 to save yourself, but if you wear plate you only need 2+ on 1d6



btw, LOL @ your sig

Right but the ceramic plates are generally only for rifle protection. I dont know of any vests that incorporate ceramic for only pistol protection.

Ive heard great things about Dragon Skin. SAPIs are too heavy and bulky. What is this for?

+1

I have level III-A myself, but I only own it because it was a hell of a deal.
