Armor of the Divine Triad : lamellar armor
#23
Depends. If the backing is required to maintain structural integrity then no, it is scale armour. Personally I'd be happy to get rid of the term "scale armour" entirely and subsume it into a sub-category of lamellar. Perhaps call it "backed lamellar" or "reinforced lamellar". It doesn't really matter so long as there is a consistent terminology that everyone agrees on. If everyone makes up their own definitions then the terms are meaningless.
