* All medium and heavy armors require a gambeson underlay. If you already possess a gambeson you can subtract 15 gp from the cost when purchasing a suit of medium or heavy armor. † Heavy armor can be upgraded to the next tier up for the difference in cost. For example, a blacksmith can upgrade a cuirass to a suit of half plate for a cost of 360 gp.

- Brigandine. Brigandine is a sturdy coat of layered linen or leather lined with small steel plates riveted to the fabric.
- Cuirass. A type of armor formed of a single or multiple pieces of metal that cover the torso. A cuirass generally refers to both a chest plate and back piece together.
- Gambeson. A gambeson is a padded defensive jacket, either worn separately or as an underlay for heavier types of armor. It can also double as a winter coat.
- Hauberk. A hauberk is a shirt of mail that reaches at least to mid-thigh and includes sleeves.
- Lamellar. This is a type of body armor made from small rectangular plates (scales or lamellae) of iron, leather, or bronze laced into horizontal rows.
