{{flavour|A suit made from layers of tanned animal hide, this light armour provides basic protection with almost no hindrance to elaborate gestures or swift, stealthy movement.}}

'''Leather armour''' is the lightest common body [[armour]], except for [[robe]]s. It offers 1 more AC than a robe, at a slight encumbrance penalty. [[Dodge]]rs and casters may prefer leather over a plain robe.

==Desirability==
Leather armour is a bland piece of armour. [[Robe]]s are more likely to have useful egos, while lighter dragon scales (like [[acid dragon scales|acid]] or [[swamp dragon scales|swamp]]) offer far more AC for relatively little encumbrance. However, it is useful in a few situations:
*For an early EV-reliant character, before you find a superior alternative, this is often better than a plain robe. In exchange for 1 point of EV, you will get at least 1 more AC.
*Leather armour is very common, meaning that well-enchanted and artefact leather armours are reasonable to come across. A +3 leather armour of fire resistance is comparable to the aforementioned dragon armours, while a good artefact (such as the [[salamander hide armour]]) might be worth wearing.
Note that a plain +0 leather armour is completely outclassed by both [[troll leather armour]] and [[steam dragon scales]].
