Leather Cuirass

This armor is designed around Adjusted SRD Armors and Pathfinder Armors.

An advanced form of light armor, the leather cuirass is effectively a hide or leather-based breastplate backed by thin sheets of steel. It is often worn alongside steel plates, chainmail and studded leather. It is less protective than a breastplate, but lighter and more protective than most light armor. Unlike most light armor, donning a leather cuirass is a more involved process and is thus donned as a breastplate.
