I was reading through Dragons of the Sixth World and something stroke me.
Eventhough the authors had given the drakes the abilities of Hardened Armor
and Astral Armor, they hadnt being Drakes any armor value at all.

What would be a fair armor value for these 3 to 5 meter dragons? The same as
their body or something like 4 to 6?

Thanks in advance

Armor ratings for critters are usually less than their Body ratings, so I'd
do the same here. OTOH, because there are so few attacks with a low Power,
hardened armor has little or no use if it's not at least 4+...

It's supposed to be 6 I think, it's listed in Threats 2.

Accordin to Threats 2, pg. 80 Drakes have a body of (N+4)/6, but they do not
have Hardened Armour, only Astral Armour.

Comparing the average human, and the average Drake from T2 with True and
Bred Drakes fro DotSW, you will see that the Drakes from T2 is the
equivalent to a Bred Drake from DotSW, except for the forgotten Armour
value, and the added powers of Enhanced Smell and Metahuman Form.

I would give Bred Drakes 6, so they fit with T2. True Drakes I would
properly give an extra point for a total Armour of 7.
