Light Armor, Nonmagical

Light armor, being the least rigid of armors, is the only kind of armor those in particularly dextrous careers are able to wear and still function. It often interferes in arcane spellcasting, but divine spellcasters will probably be all right in this armor provided they have learned how to wear it and move in it.

Significance

The person wearing this is probably either a spellcaster or a rogue, and therefore will likely be attacked second by ambushers. (The person in a mixed team who is wearing no armor is likely the most monetarily valuable, or else the one best at circumventing others' defenses.)
