| Equipment: Personal Armor Just what sort of armor is available to organizations is not made completely clear in the Angel Corebook so here are some additions to the Weapons levels to address the availability of armor for an Organization. Modern Armor is fairly easy to come by and is often easier to purchase then weapons. All levels of Weapons will grant characters access to Tweed and Leather Jackets even if they have to raid their home closets, this sort of armor is easy to come by and has no cost. Bulletproof
Vests: this level of armor grants access to a small number of
bulletproof vests and can be bought on its own and costs one point.
Gun
Bunnies: this level does not normally grant access to civilian
grade bulletproof vests but for one additional point the organization
can have an armory that includes basic bulletproof vests with armor
level 10(5).
Paramilitary:
this level automatically grants access to bulletproof vests with armor
level 10(5) as standard equipment in the armory.
Full
Metal Jacket: this level grants access to both bulletproof vests
and combat armor as standard equipment in the armory.
Archaic Armors are another story, since they are very hard to manufacture or find, most organizations would be hard pressed to have a vast armory with enough fitted plate mail for everyone. On the other hand there have been examples of large organizations in the Whedonverse packing serious medieval armor. (The Knights of Byzantium.) So you could add these new levels to the Weapons Gear levels. Cuir
Bouilli: this level gives access to a small number of suits of
hardened leather armor. This is the easiest level of Archaic armor to
create and is really just wax impregnated leather shaped into armor and
can be found wherever SCA members can be found. This costs one point.
Getting
Medieval: this level can add a small number of leather suits of
armor to the armory with one additional point to the cost of the level.
Knights
in Shining Armor: this level means the group has a collection of
full suits of Ancient Armor, Ancient weapons, Siege weapons and Calvary
gear enough to outfit a small army. Everything need for storming a
castle. Very few organizations outside of invading demon armies or Renn
Faire Jousting companies will have access to such gear.
