I assume this isnt done and the creator would not like me editing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Poseygirl (talkcontribs).

Most Wikipedia articles are never "done". Feel free to edit the article by adding new, verifiable information, adding free images, or improving the structure or quality of current content. --Eyrian 01:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
As the 'primary' author I can say: Eyrian is right, it ain't done and if you have something to contribute than please do so. Mercutio.Wilder 12:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

DnD aside, I'm not sure there IS such a thing as 'splint armor'. Plates riveted to a cloth 'fronting' make brigandine, but I've never seen splints on anything but fore-arms and (rarely) legs. They seem to have fulfilled a role similar to greaves or Persian/Indian Bazubands. Theblindsage (talk) 01:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
