A breastplate was one of the better forms of medium armor.[1]
Description
Edit
The armor covered the wearer's front and back with a metal cuirass, and included a helmet and greaves. A light suit of studded leather beneath the breastplate finished the armor suit, protecting the wearer's limbs without restricting movement much.[3]
Notable Wearers of BreastplatesEdit

ReligionsEdit
- Worshipers of Bane typically wore black breastplates with a red fist painted on and below the shoulder blades.[6]
