Scale armor

Scale armor was a type of armor used on Toril.
==Description==
Plate mail consisted of a leather coat, leggings and sometimes skirt which was covered in small plates of overlapping scales. The finished armor would often resemble the scales of a fish. Although steel was commonly used to make scale mail, actual animal scales (like dragon scales) could be used. Although heavy, the flexibility and adjust-ability of scale mail armor made it surprisingly easy to wear.
==Variations==
;Coin Armor: A rare form of scale armor made with over a thousand coins. They were typically seen in use by high-ranking generals and dignitaries.
;Sea elven scale mail: An expensive form of scale armor that was unique to the sea elves.
