It wasn't too long ago that I remember reading on the BG wiki about how Full Plate armor grants certain elemental resistances. This was a BG custom tweak. But now I can't seem to find where this info is stated, so not sure if it still applies. Can anyone lend some insight?
Also, if I want to use Mithral Full Plate--which appears to be classified as Medium Armor--do I need to take Heavy Armor Optimization or Medium Armor Optimization? Messing around in JEGS, it appears that Heavy Armor Optimization is the right choice.

Re: A couple Full Plate questions
The first part of your question is a free feat granted to the Fighter and Man at Arms, and maybe the Barbarian. At around level 6. Heavy armor gives you 20% elemental resistance, Medium and Light give less to none.
2nd one should be Medium, but I guess the game is bugged.
