Leather Armour & Equipment

Leather armour is made from leather, hide, or other light and flexible materials. It favors agile adventurers since it offers some protection without sacrificing dexterity. Leather armour can be crafted and augmented by characters with proficiency in Leatherworker's tools. To create a set of leather armour or make an augmentation to an existing set of light armour, the character must have a set of Leatherworker's tools and proficiency in it, a safe location to work uninterupted for the required crafting time, and the required materials and funds to craft the equipment.

Each set of armour has can be created using the requisite materials. The requirements for crafting leather armour are depicted in the Crafting Leather Armour Table. Leather armour can be either light armour, or medium armour made of hide. Each Armour Type has a number of augmentation slots that determine the maximum number of augmentations that can be added to that armour set. Magical armour requires attunement. Some materials will yield a specialized armour set with aditional effects.
