Plate Mail is the second most protective non-magical armor you can buy. It offers an armor class of 3 and nearly all plate mails in the games of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition also offer a -3 bonus to armor class against slashing attacks.
The plate weighs 50 lbs, which means that a character with decent strength loses a quite amount of carrying capacity while wearing it. It requires at least 12 strength to wear plate mail and it can only be worn by fighters, paladins, rangers and clerics.
