Talk:Hard Leather Set/@comment-100.6.75.247-20161201152435

This set was commonly refered to "brigandine armor" back in the middle ages, a mix of plate,heavy leather, and chainmail armor for optimal weight/mobility/cost while still having enough protection to stop a spent arrow or bolt and turn away a weak blade strike. Crossbowmen would commonly wear armor like this. Put an Eagle shield on your back,swap out the helmet for the Coif and 2-hand a heavy crossbow and that is basically what the elite crossbow units looked like.
