Leather Armor? (NO HOLDS BARRED!!)
Quote:
Quote:The armour was intended to stop attacks that found their way around the shield, not through.

Exactly my point Dan, have any of the tests you refer to taken that into consideration?

My thoughts are along these same lines as well. My gut tells me that the armor is a last resort should you mess up. I'm not sure that a well trained soldier with a spear and shield without armor wasn't as well protected as a raw recruit with the best armor.

If that's the standard, then leather, even flexible leather, would be fairly serviceable.
