(The mean reason why people cured hide into boiled leather was because it was much cheaper than steel plate, even though the protection was shittier. Not everyone had the cash to afford a full suit of shiny metal armor, given how poor the commonfolk were. However, vs all these enhanced strength, no friction stabs, whatever funny melee, it's pretty pointless. Especially Fosworn armor which ... covers nothing for women and plain disgusts me with its armor value. Normal bearskin or what not is going to be 0 protection, face it.)
