Strife:Bracer Plates

Introduction
Bracer plates are a permanent addition to the plating of an off-hand gauntlet, increasing its AR slightly for various mechanics depending on weapon:

2H weapon then on a failed hit, your turn ends.

1H weapon then if you’re:
 * Dual wielding or using a shield, getting hit by an action that takes SV into account, takes 1 second from your next turn. Preserves dual-wielding bonus if applicable.
 * One-handed only (including 1H crossbows), there are no drawbacks. Preserves free-hand bonus if applicable.

Thrown marksman weapons or unarmed (including hand-to-hand and having a spell equipped) then you may have an on-hand bracer plate also, giving the AR bonus. In this configuration:
 * 50 to 74 speed level and having two bracer plates equipped makes attacks take double time.
 * Under 50 speed level and having one or more bracer plates equipped makes attacks take double time.

Bracer plates (unless otherwise stated) are repaired with the gauntlets and just ‘become part of them’ per-se. Bracer plates cannot be put on lantern shields, other armours, and on on-hand gauntlets they provide no AR bonuses. When bracer plates are attached to bracers, the gauntlet becomes the higher armour type between the bracer plate and gauntlet. The next sections are types of bracer plates you can attach to any other type of gauntlet:

Light Bracer Plates
Nordic Fur and Leather bracer plate:
 * Increases: CC by 0.5, AR by 4, gold worth by 4
 * Findable in many dungeons, buyable from armourers

Chitin bracer plate:
 * Increases: CC by 1, AR by 8, gold worth by 6
 * Rarer, found in bandit delves sometimes

Wood and cloth bracer plate:
 * Increases: CC by 20, AR by 15, gold worth by 10
 * Unlike other bracer plates, this one has a durability instead of being the gauntlets durability. This bracer plate instead has only 25 Durability, cannot be repaired, and breaks off the gauntlet upon breaking. The gauntlet itself can still be repaired
 * The wood itself can be purchased from Traders. Wood is a rarer material in Vvardenfell, as needs to be imported. The Wood costs 100G each for enough, and this is the cloth used. To make this it is a standard armourer roll; on a failure both materials are destroyed

Glass bracer plate:
