Armor for Magic Users<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gambeson<\/b>:<\/b> Typically a knee length, long sleeve, coat made from layers of sewn linen, with extra padding and leather strips at key points in between.\u00a0 Compared to padded armor, Gambesons<\/strong> generally have a decorative outer layer or \u2018finish\u2019 of colors or patterns, and are waxed or oiled cloth for water resistance. (vs rain not immersion.) They are usually worn alone though they can be worn under most armor. They can be worn by Magic Users and can also act as a cold weather coat. Many nobles, merchants and wealthy individuals use them as casual or \u2018day to day\u2019 protection around their homes or in non threatening environments.\u00a0 They often have leather trim and most have pockets sewn into them and some have an attached or detachable hood.<\/p>\n Regular Gambeson<\/p>\n Cost:\u00a0 8gp\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AC: 8\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n A Magic User’s Gambeson<\/strong><\/p>\n A typical Gambeson designed for daily use and protection of a Mage (and by some wealthy merchants and nobles) will be of heavier, stouter, treated cloth on the outside, typically a canvas type material, trimmed and reinforced with leather at collar, shoulder panels, edges and cuffs. (It is too thick to be worn under other armor) The interior is padded and lined, either with silk or fine linen for the warmer climates or sheepskin for the colder regions. With warm clothing the sheepskin lined version will serve as Winter Wear in all but extreme cold. It will have a built in belt of leather with attached pouches, two on either side, and loops to attach scabbards, purse or other pouches and devices. There is generally a built in pocket in each sleeve able to hold small daggers or similar sized objects (wand, scroll tube, etc) up to 2lbs each sleeve (2 throwing daggers per sleeve pocket.) Two inner pockets able to hold 4lbs each\/ Two front \u2018cargo\u2019 pockets able to hold 4lbs each, these have button down flaps. 1 large pocket across lower back (under the belt) that can hold up to 10lbs (suitable for a Traveling Spell Book but NOT a Grimoire.) It will have an attached hood and the fabric is water proofed vs rain (not immersion)\u00a0 Mage’s Gambeson<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Armor for Magic Users Gambeson: Typically a knee length, long sleeve, coat made from layers of sewn linen, with…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1640","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/solista.missiledine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/solista.missiledine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/solista.missiledine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solista.missiledine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solista.missiledine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1640"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/solista.missiledine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1653,"href":"https:\/\/solista.missiledine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1640\/revisions\/1653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/solista.missiledine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
