Light Armor


Paddeds-

Leathers-
  • Leather Vest -- made of thick and durable leather. Metal discs can be applied to its surface to strengthen it further

  • Lamellar Armour -- a vest constructed of leather plates that have been hardened by courbouille method using hot filtered beeswax to provide maximum protection to its wearer

  • Open Faced Brigandine -- a layer of thick leather sandwiched between two layers of neverwear weave. Provides protection against piercing attacks, though is weak against axe blades and the broadsides of swords.

  • Kidney Belt -- a thick leather belt which is essential body armor in hand-to-hand combat. It fits snugly around the waist, protecting one's vitals from swords and daggers.

  • War Skirt -- provides lower body protection. Water-hardened and molded to protect the hips, the front, and the rear. There is no question as to why this would be essential.

  • Archer's Vest -- this vest is crafted with supple yet extremely tough oil tanned leather under a medium-weight leather breastplate. Rawhide lace at the sides and rear provide for adequate sizing adjustments.


Studded leathers-

Medium Armor


Bones-
  • Wraith Armor -- this armor appears to have been made from the bleached white bones of a human. A ribcage enwraps the wearer's chest and a spine supports the back. Upon putting this armor on for the first time, the wearer will note immediate feelings of weakness as the magic possessed by this armor draws from its wearer's lifeforce to manifest its powers (the major cost of donning this armor). While wearing this armor, one is immune to all forms of cold and experiences double their natural resistance to magical attacks. Those skilled in magic while wearing this armor will be able to summon a skeletal warrior. Once put on, this armor becomes bonded to its wearer. It cannot be sold, traded, or given to anyone else.

  • Dragonbone Breastplate -- carved from a portion of the sturdy femur of a dragon's hind leg. Extremely rare and nearly impervious to all melee attacks, this breastplate is also heavy and a bit inconvenient for mobile battle.

  • Demon Bone Gloves -- gloves with the bones of a demon infused into their tops. These gloves render their wearer able to handle extreme amounts of heat without scalding their hands. They carry the slight risk of possession, however, and one must always keep holy water at the ready.

  • Demon Bone Leggings -- leggings that have had the bones of a demon infused into their front. Wearing them allows the wearer to walk through fire and magma unharmed. As with their glove counterparts, they carry the slight risk of possession of the former owner of their bones.

  • Shaman's Helm -- worn by higher priests, druids, and shamans, this helm has been fashioned from the skull of a bison and infused with Bestial Attunement. This helm can only be custom made for specific classes and is not available to the general public


Chain shirts-

Hides-
  • Coarse Hide Tunic -- this garment can be used as makeshift armor in a pinch, but does not protect from much or for prolonged periods of time. However, most would say that its better to have a dagger pierce someone else's skin rather than their own.
    AC+1

  • Fawnskin -- extremely thin and soft leathers, favored as undergarments to avoid the chaifing most armors cause against the flesh.
    AC+1

  • Feathered Hide Shirt -- worn beneath metal armors in cold climates to provide a layer of heat between flesh and freezing metal
    AC+1


Scale mails-
  • Serpent Mail -- crafted from the scales of black serpents. This mail is durable enough to deflect most arrows and darts, and its natural oils make it the choice of thieves and assassins as it eases one into slipping in and out of tight spaces.
    AC+4

  • Lizard Mail -- one of the most commonplace scale mails and the most affordable. Crafted from the bony plate scales of rock-dwelling lizards, this mail is heavy and resilliant to most ranged attacks.
    AC+3

  • Wyrm Mail -- a heavy mail crafted from the scales of feral mountain and marsh wyrms. Able to withstand close-proximity blows with most daggers and swords. As the scales are pointed and secrete toxins, it is a favored mail of hand-to-hand combat as it keeps an opponant from getting too close
    AC+5
    Poison damage- 1 hp per 3 turns if cut with scales. (so don't punch it)

  • Dragon Mail -- a very rare armor that comes in a variety of strengths, depending on the color of dragon scale used to craft it. Of all scale mails, these are the most formidible and desired among warriors, able to withstand phenomenal amounts of damage, to deflect most magical attacks, and to aid its wearer with whatever base attribute(s) its host dragon possessed.
    AC+10
    Elemental Protection- 20% Acid, Fire, Ice, water, Earth or Air(depending on scales used)

  • Spectral Mail -- a legendary armor that has only been spoken of in books. No one is yet known to possess it as it requires scales from the color of every dragon to properly craft it. As dragons, in themselves, are incredibly hard to find and finding one of each sort would be virtually impossible, it is believed to be even moreso impossible to collect scales from all of them. Spectral Mail is said to render its wearer virtually invincible, providing him/her with the attributes of all dragonkind. It is whispered that should such mail fall into the wrong hands, the budding new world could be plunged into darkness.
    AC+20
    Elemental Protection- 50% against all elements
    Spell- Summon Kobolds

Caps-

Helmets-
  • Salet -- crafted of iron, this basic helm provides jaw-level facial protection with a narrow visor that allows for good visibility and airflow.
    AC+2

  • Armet -- characterized by its hinged cheekplates and "sparrow's beak" visor, this helm is crafted from heavy courbouille hardened leather and affixed with metal studs, providing protection down to the neck
    AC+3

  • Barbuta -- fashioned after the design of the early greek Corinthian helmet. This design allows for unrestricted airflow and visibility with an adjustable leather liner Provides good scalp and back of the neck protection, and favored by prison guards
    AC+1

  • Viking Helm -- crafted from steel and domed to fit most heads, this helm fits over the upper face, allowing two holes for visibility rather than a visor and is fastened via a strap that fits beneath the chin. The top can be customized with wings/horns for a more formidible appearance on the battlefield.
    AC+1

  • Centurian Helm -- A stately and ornate helmet, forged from gold and steel with leather lining. A horsehair crest along its top (dyed to suit its wearer) completes the effect of intimidation.
    AC+1
