Warriors need to have their innards protected. The best way to do that is to wear armor. Here are the common armors in the Birini region.

Cotton

Unprocessed cotton between fabric, creating a very soft armor that dampens impacts and is hard to pierce.

BX 6[13], 50 GP, 100cn DCC +3, -1, –,d6,50 GP

Pieces of Thrion ceramic overlapping each other creating a hard yet flexible set of armor.

BX 4[15], 50 GP, 440cn DCC +4, -3, -5’, d12, 50 GP

Hardened animal hide (typically cow but occasionally mammoth) a cheap and solid way to protect the innards.

BX: 7[12], 20 GP, 200cn DCC +2, -1,–, d8, 20GP

Solid bronze, typically they are made somewhat decoratively, showing gleaming metal abs, cod pieces, other features the warrior wishes to accentuate.

BX 2[17], 500GP, 500cn DCC +7, -7, -10’,1d12, 500GP

Small bronze plates overlapping like the protective scales of a serpent.

BX 4[15], 80 GP, 400cn DCC +5, -3, -5’, d10, 80GP

BX +1 Bonus, 10GP DCC +1,-1,–, +1d, 10GP

BX +2 Bonus, 40GP DCC +2,-2,–, +2d,40GP
