barding AC

[Necropraxis]

Barding in Men & Magic is listed at 150 GP.

I can't find any listing of the AC this grants though, and am wavering between 5 and 3 for a ruling. 3 because, well, it is plate, but perhaps 5 because it doesn't seem like it woud quite protect as well as a human's suit of armor.

Is this in Chainmail perhaps? How do other people run barding AC?

[Zenopus]

Yes, only in Chainmail, AFAIK. See this post by norse for gist of the Chainmail rules.

My feeling would be AC 5, since there's still plenty of exposed parts.

I would agree, AC 5.

[Necropraxis]

Thanks. AC 5 it is.

My players found a flying horse that had its wings stolen by sorcerer and are trying to make friends with it. Just for some background.
