Descrição
Tosei-gusoku is a new style of protection recently developed by Crab armorers. Vaguely resembling a suit of gaijin armor, a tosei-gusoku uses large, contoured steel plates laced together and worn over a chain or ringmail coat. Plated gauntlets, iron greaves, a kabuto-like helmet, and a four-piece haidate of laced steel plates completes the suit. Thanks to the shape of the plates and the clever use of hinges and laces, a tosei-gusoku provides better defense against ranged weapons than more common suits of armor.
Despite the utility and improved protection a tosei-gusoku offers, it remains unpopular among Crab samurai. Due to its deviance from normal traditions of armor making and the fact that it tends to be drab and utilitarian rather than lovingly decorated like most armor, many more traditional-minded samurai consider this suit fit only for ashigaru, rōnin, and samurai of a poor lord.
While wearing tosei-gusoku, treat your physical resistance as 2 higher when reducing damage from projectile attacks (such as Martial Arts [Ranged] checks).
