(Plate armor is a full suit of plate which is no more weighty and a bit less bulky, considering what is known as "field plate".
If you allow such armor in your campaign, use the same weight, with a 9" movement base and a base AC of 2 sans shield.
Such armor would be very expensive, c. 2000 g.p.).

<UA, Update: There is field plate (AC0), and, full plate (AC1).>
