Full plate armor is a type of body armor that first appeared in ADOM version 1.2.0. Not to be confused with plate mail (a type of chain mail with small embedded plates), full plate armor is a much more advanced, expensive, and (frequently) ornate suit of large, interlocking metal pieces. It completely covers the torso, neck and limbs, and most also cover one's boots. On Earth such suits of armor would typically include interlocked gauntlets and helms (thus encasing the entire body in metal), but in Ancardia they apparently do not.
