Sometimes called a hauberk, this is a long shirt constructed of the same metal rings as chain mail. However, it is much lighter than chain mail and protects only the torso, upper arms, and upper legs of its wearer.
Trait Effects
Flexible: The armor is pliable and doesn’t hinder most actions. You don’t apply its check penalty to Acrobatics or Athletics checks.
Noisy: This armor is loud and likely to alert others to your presence. The armor’s check penalty applies to Stealth checks even if you have the required Strength modifier.
