[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6618306, member: 92305"] [b]-- QUILTED JERKIN --[/b] This is an excellent pic of a Quilted Jerkin. This guy must have put all of his coin into his greatsword with the fancy wavy blade. Greatswords are known primarily as Hyborian weapons (the damn things do 2-18 damage, which is 1d10 + 1d8, Critical on 19-20 for x2 dam, and have Armor Piercing 4). For most races, the greatsword is an Exotic Weapon, but for Hyborians, it is a Martial Weapon. It is the only two-handed weapon that Hyborian Thieves learn to use (unless a special feat is taken), though the weapon is too big and unwieldy for the tastes of most Thieves. Occasionally, you will see a Hyborian Pirate swing this bloody weapon on the deck during a boarding action. Note the mercenary in this pic has a buckler tied to his belt and a smaller, one handed weapon behind his right hip. He can drop the greatsword and use the buckler to get a +2 Parry AC bonus and fight with what looks to be (from the size of the hilt) an arming sword (1d10 Damage, Critical on 19-20 for x2 dam, Armor Piercing 2). His torso may look like it is protected by leather, but if you look closely, you'll see that it's definitely cloth--cloth that is more dense that that used for the arms. A quilted jerkin is hand-sewn from twenty or more layers of linen, making for a light armor that fits well. Notice how snugly the armor fits the mercenary. The quilted jerkin leaves the man completely unencumbered and offers protection of Damage Reduction 3, with Max DEX bonus of +7 and no Armor Check penalty. This is a favored armor of Thieves and Pirates. [img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/290/3/7/mercenary_by_kamikazuh-d4d57di.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
