The purpose of the cortosis on the gauntlets would be saber resistance. It'd just be a lining ontop of the beskar alloy, since the site rules make it seem like beskar alloy isn't even slightly lightsaber resistant. If I'm wrong, just let me know. :)Just to nitpick a little... but why in the Fraggle Rock would Prudii mess up his gauntlets by lining them with cortosis? An inferior, brittle, even more expensive and equally rare, material, rather than just go pure beskar alloy, as it'd do the job just as well, if not better?
Also, durasteel plates in an armour-weave kama? That seems counter-intuitive to me, as a kama is supposed to be light, and it's original design was to protect the wearer's feet from the wash of one's own jetpack. With plates of a heavy, solid, metal sown in there, you'd keep that thing slapping against the back of your thighs and knees whenever you move, ruining any chance of stealth, ever, and you'd hamper your own ability to crouch or sit down. Armour-weave is protective enough on it's own without adding in more durasteel. More weight.

The Kama bit is from before I specified that it was amrorweave. I'll go edit that bit out.
The surface area of the gauntlet is lined in it.
Oooh no I meant coveredAs far as I can remember, beskar alloy is lightsaber resistant. Just not not lightsaber proof like pure beskar. And frankly, adding cortosis would have no real effect, as even cortosis isn't lightsaber proof. A few whacks from a lightsaber and cortosis is no more protective than a lining of graphite. Though, the rules might have changed since last I looked.
And if the beskar alloy isn't lightsaber resistant, and my statement above was in error... then why would Prudii use the alloy at all? There are lighter and more durable materials he could employ in his armour that are far cheaper and more readily available than the alloy.
EDIT:
Prudii, if you mean that the entire surface of the gauntlet has cortosis, and beskar alloy underneath... then the correct term is covered or sheated in cortosis, not lined. Lining implies that it's only along the edges of the gauntlet.
I'll let Clayton rule on weight. Seeing as it's a plate design itd be FAR lighter than your vagabond.This still seems too light.

15th century armor with much more rudimentary smelting of armor, and far more coverage weighed only 50 kilograms. I think mine is weighted well.Fine.

Elaborate please?Materials and Balance.
Elaborate please?
1.) The use of heavy materials to block a lot of things.
2.) To balance the armor against similar armors since it seems to offer very good protection against most things for not much weight.
Thank you for your input. I value it. However I find the list that I made quite appropriate and reflective of EU standards. We don't know what mind of integrated and all in one chips and cards they had to micronize that. @Clayton do you see any edits I need to make?I would like to point out, that this isn't the EU and sometimes things have to be changed. If not half of the PC ships would be packing turbolasers. Not to mention it might have broadband communications but they do not mention access to the holonet or hypercoms. So if you were to have it as the armor lists it you would have: Rangefinder, Comms(maybe longrange, not holo or hyper), A motion sensor, 360, Possibly a Macro(states that there was a special visor for that, think commander cody), and a rebreather. That literally is half the list you have going on.
