All Armor

Read More →Chain shirt
Made of interlocking metal rings, a chain shirt is worn between layers of clothing or leather. This armor offers modest protection to the wearer's upper body and allows the sound of the rings rubbing against one another to be muffled by outer layers. AC: 13 + Dex modifier (max 2).
Read More →Half plate
Half plate consists of shaped metal plates that cover most of the wearer's body. It does not include leg protection beyond simple greaves that are attached with leather straps. AC: 15 + Dex modifier (max 2).
