    • Bone/Chitin: medium AC, lower max Dex
    • Metal: high AC, higher armor check penalty, lower Dex limit
    • Leather/Hide: light to medium AC, minimal penalties
  • Dex Adj in 2e converted to Dex Limit in 3e.
  • Cost roughly converted (1 gp ˜ 100 cp where applicable).
  • Special material notes like DL (Desert Leather), MC (Metal Conductivity) preserved.
