Armor

Leather armor is created from hard, stiff leather that has been boiled in oil. Studded leather on the other hand has a soft leather backing to which are attached many metal rivets. Leather, hide and studded leather armors can be worn by all classes except Mages. By linking together many small metal rings, chainmail is fashioned and normally worn over a soft leather padding to prevent chafing. Chainmail cannot be worn by Mages, Thieves and Druids. Splint mail has metal strips attached to a leather backing with chainmail covering the more flexible joints. Instead of strips, plate mail uses metal plates to cover most of the body and these are kept in place by a series of straps and buckles. Full plate armor covers even more of the body than plate mail, requiring that each suit is custom designed for the owner. Splint mail, plate mail and full plate mail can only be worn by Fighters, Rangers, Paladins and Clerics.
