Scale mail

A strange compromise between chainmail and full plate, scale mail uses the benefits of having plates with the flexibility of not having any rigid surfaces like a breastplate. Thus these "scales" are fastened on the top of a sturdy cloth or leather vest with chainmail supporting any additional area that is exposed.
