[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7169988, member: 6895991"] But still the two hander gets the first attack As does the ranged guy Leather and studded leather have never existed, they would not protect against any piercing weapon. Only exception is Cuirbulli which is French for boiled leather and is a thick breastplate very stiff made from several layers of cured leather. But this would rather classify as medium armor. Studded leather is a missinterpretation of historic Pictures showing People in brigandine, which are metal plates riveted to some fabric and for the better Looks the outer layer was colored sometimes but the rivets showing so it Looks like leather with studs to an uninformed modern Person. Brigandinde is on the lower scale of medium armor and surely not light. Light armor that did exist were padded armor = acheton which normaly was also part of chain armor as an undercoat. It could withstand some hits and arrows on ist own, ist made from several layers of linen. If you add some more layers and give the outer layer a nice look maybe using leather you got a buff coat. It stops arrows and swordstrikes without a Problem. Those two i take in my games for AC11 and 12 Whereas Brigandine gets AC 13 with max Dex of 3 in my games. [/QUOTE]
