Plate Armour cannot be found in chests, but it can be stolen from Shops. This Armour stops 3/4 of attacks, and you only need 21 Strength to Wear it. If you're still paying full price at Shops, you may want to skip this Armour since it's also the most expensive Armour that you can't Wear in space.

Plate Armour is the best non-magic Armour in the game, and the best a Paladin can Wear aside from Exotic Armour. It's also extremely expensive. You might be better off sticking with chain until you find the Exotic Armour, which is better and free.
