As the 'primary' author I can say: Eyrian is right, it ain't done and if you have something to contribute than please do so. Mercutio.Wilder 12:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

DnD aside, I'm not sure there IS such a thing as 'splint armor'. Plates riveted to a cloth 'fronting' make brigandine, but I've never seen splints on anything but fore-arms and (rarely) legs. They seem to have fulfilled a role similar to greaves or Persian/Indian Bazubands. Theblindsage (talk) 01:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
