Also known as a brigandine, dingjia, kuyak or kikko, a form of armor made from pieces of boiled leather sewn together, sealed and hardened so as to provide a somewhat complete hardened shell, though leaving parts of the body (knees and elbows particularly) vulnerable. The armor incorporates a wide variety of shapes, forms and methods of construction, usually including separate pieces for sleeves and grieves, the latter covering the knees down to the foot.
In my game, the leather armor incorporates within its base structure the
cloth hauberk, into which much of the leather pieces are sewn. Thus, the character does not need to buy chausses or a hauberk when purchasing leather armor. The same is true of
studded leather armor.
Leather armor provides a +2 armor class adjustment (lowers armor class by 2 points).
