Barding

Barding is metal armor or similar protection for a horse or other mount. The destriers ridden by the knights of the baronies tend to sport steel plates reinforced with patches of chain, while the fierce Leonx of the Latari wear the same leathers as their riders. Generally, only war mounts can tolerate the weight and discomfort of barding.


Barding counts as armor for a mount and provides defense 1 and soak 2.
