If the character has some help, cut this time in half. A single character doing nothing else can help one or two adjacent characters. Two characters can't help each other don armor at the same time.

This unconventional armor consist of a finely crafted breastplate made of lacquered bamboo, a padded armor underneath, some shoulder and shin guards and other minor protective pieces, all bound together by strong silk strings. This armor is mostly made of wood, which grants it lightweight properties.

The armor may be made of special materials, the padded armor can be upgraded with a special fabric while the breastplate may be made of darkwood to further reduce its weight. Other types of wood may be applicable to make the breastplate out of as well.

Craft (Armorsmithing) DC 15. Market Price 250 gp.
