The Steel Breastplate is a well-crafted piece of armor designed to protect the torso while maintaining the wearer's mobility. It consists of a tailored metal chest piece made from high-quality steel, paired with a flexible leather underlayer that allows for greater freedom of movement. While it leaves the arms and legs largely unprotected, the armor provides excellent coverage for the vital organs, making it a favored choice among soldiers, mercenaries, and adventurers who prioritize agility as much as protection.
The breastplate is often polished to a dull sheen, with simple but effective reinforcement along the edges. It is commonly available in towns and cities, found in the inventories of smithies, armories, and adventuring suppliers. While practical, the armor can also be customized with engravings, house sigils, or other embellishments to reflect the wearer's status or allegiance.
Standard market price; custom engravings or enhancements can increase the cost.
The Steel Breastplate has been a staple in the armories of warriors across the world for centuries. Its balance of protection and mobility has made it a favored choice for those who need to stay light on their feet, such as scouts, skirmishers, and duelists. Some famous adventurers are known to have worn breastplates into battle, relying on their skill and speed rather than heavy armor.
