Hide Armor

Hide Armor shares similarities to Leather Armor, but is typically crudely made and sewn together with thick, bunchy, hide plates from large animals. Hide Armor covers the torso, arms and legs of the wearer, with the arm and leg sections being tied on with thick pieces of cord or leather.

Most Hide Armor is crafted by more primitive cultures who have not yet learned how to work metal, but still need something resilient to combat enemies and predators. Favored by Barbarians, Rangers and some of the monstrous races such as goblins, orcs and kobolds, Hide Armor tends to be very cumbersome and bulky for the protection it offers, therefore most who wear it only do so as a means of survival.
