Studded Leather
Studded leather is a form of common armor consisting of standard leather armor, reinforced with numerous metal studs or rings attached to its surface. While heavier, tougher, and more costly than standard leather, it is still relatively flexible, and is highly favored by those warriors who cannot afford the heavier metal armors.

Buckler
The buckler is a small, hand-held shield, no more than 18" in diameter, used in a character's off-hand to parry with. Due to its reduced size and weight, it is favored by weaker or faster warriors, especially Zandir duelists, and does not inflict a Dexterity-related penalty of any kind. Unfortunately, the smaller size means that bucklers provide no benefits of any kind unless used to actively parry, in which case they add +2 to the bearer's attempt. Individuals using Swordsmanship can use a buckler as one of their paired "weapons".
