An armour made for centaurs, to wear over their equine half.

Centaur bardings are a type of armor intended for centaurs to wear in place of boots, which do not fit on their horse-shaped lower halves. Although significantly less common than boots, they provide double the AC and can be enchanted twice as heavily. In exchange, they do have a slight encumbrance rating, but this has no effect on your spellcasting, stealth, unarmed combat speed, or melee accuracy. Its only impact is a loss of 2 points to your evasion. Possible brands include:

AC from centaur barding is not penalized by a centaur's oddly-shaped body. Non-centaurs cannot wear centaur barding, though nagas have naga barding, a type of barding intended for them.

History

They provide more AC than boots in exchange for having a slight [[encumbrance rating]], and can provide even more AC by being enchanted (up to +4). The only penalty derived from their encumbrance rating is the loss of 2 points of evasion. Centaur bardings don't affect spellcasting, stealth, unarmed combat speed, or melee accuracy. The AC bonus given by a centaur barding is not affected by their [[Bad mutations#Deformed Body|oddly-shaped bodies]]. Possible brands include:
