MDC fantasy armors

This likely exists somewhere but my search-fu has failed me. What statistics would the armors in the Fantasy book have if they were made of MDC materials? Would it be a straight conversion of 1 to 1?

The knight class in WB3 features a simplistic description of ancient-style MD body armor. DB1 also features ancient-style MD body armor in a variety of styles, but it's peppered throughout the class descriptions. The alchemist enchanted armors from Palladium Fantasy should manifest the equivalent MDC on Rifts Earth. You may be interested in this thread on magic users and armor too.

Greetings and Salutations. I'd also recommend Siege on Tolkeen Book 4: Cyber-Knights. Near the end of the book they give a few armor stats. While these are modern armor values, it also states ...

Page 108 wrote:In the Cyber-Knights' case, that image is the look of the traditional "knights of old." Plate and/or scale or chain mail clad warriors who look like heroes stepped out from the pages of a fairy tale or history book. Of course there are differences unique to the world of Rifts. For one, all such suits are made of modern, Mega-Damage materials ...

Kind of sounds like what you're looking for, but I could be wrong. Hope that helps. Farewell and safe journeys for now.

World Book 06 gives some MDC values for enchanted fantasy armors.

Source Book 3 in the Tarno Kingdom might also help as the Tarno Crystal is used to turn SDC materials into MDC materials.

A conjuror can make MDC versions of classic armors, I think 1/2 as much MDC as they normally have SDC.

Also Kuznya stuff in Mystic Russia.

Also examples of some resin-made ancient armors in Wormwood.

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.

I believe the second Atlantis book has some Supernatural leather types in the market vendor section, Aren't there Dino leather armors in one of the Dino Books?
