Also I'd wear completely different sets of armour for combat and for LARP. A LARP armour would be pretty light and curvy, to avoid damaging other players and such, but for real combat I would wear things like a bladed left bracer, and spiked knee guards and boots.

@nerthos I like to say that the difference is between hurting people and killing characters.

@nerthos You can attach blades on it if they are made the same way like weapons. The easiest way of attaching them would be extra strong magnets. That does work surprisingly well...
-
@scribus Yeah, they're two completely different things. Lots of moves for real combat you can't do whilst playing because you could end up hurting or killing someone. Viciousness should be left out of games xD
-
@hakupony Yeah, but they completely lack purpose that way. A bladed left bracer (the kind I'm talking about) is mostly for piercing armour and holding things, and using it as a "shield". A fake one would be useless for my fighting style because I couldn't stick it into people's toraxes to hold/pull them.
-
@nerthos Yeah, even if an enemy gets in close, there are few opportunities to use them safely. They mostly are cosmetic.
-
@hakupony A shield is far more useful on a LARP.
