"He killed the noble Mudjokivis. |
An animal skin is a body armour that is functionally identical to a robe, with 2 base AC and no encumbrance.
Unlike robes, animal skins are not normally generated with egos outside of a few special vaults, such as in Ice caves.
Desirability
This item exists as flavour for Berserkers and some enemies (such as spriggan berserkers) where a robe would be less thematic.
Berserkers, as melee-focused characters with high strength, should switch to a heavier armour almost immediately. For other characters, there's usually better options available. A +2 animal skin is better than a +0 robe, at least.
