Elrohir Amandil 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Manual of Arms says you need armor 3/16" thick. How heavy of a leather do you need to typically achieve that? What would that translate to in Novitas armor points? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hivemind 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Technically, yes, 12oz leather. In reality, though, 12oz leather is just going to average 3/16", and will often go below that - making it illegal. If you're making leather armor, buy a 13-15oz hide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vany'a 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Dave is very right on this. If you remember my white armor that made me look like a storm trooper from a couple years back, I ordered 12oz hide from Tandy and it ended up being closer to 9oz in a lot of areas. Made me a sad panda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
