Epic Armoury's are full grain leather or suede, built in layered, riveted segments that move with every step, lunge, and sprint, because thighs are among the most-hit target zones in LARP combat and the most commonly bare ones. If your torso is armored and your legs aren't, this is the gap in your kit, and in many rulesets it's a gap that costs you hit points.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo Designs, Two Characters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRanger Tassets:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Woven-pattern leatherwork in warm brown tones, the look of a scout, hunter, or wandering blade who made their armor rather than looted it.
