Studded leather is leather armor reinforced with metal studs. It provides a middle ground between hide armor and ring mail. It is more flexible than either, while its reinforced construction gives it a slight edge over hide.
It is treated as a light armor, and requires Armor Proficiency: Studded Leather to use properly.
