Barding is a kind of armour designed to cover the lower half of centaurs and nagas. It fills the feet slot in place of boots, which centaurs and nagas cannot wear. Similar to body armour, it offers significantly more AC than ordinary boots, but unlike body armour, it does not offer any GDR. Barding have a small encumbrance rating that incurs a small impact to the species' EV (-2). It does not affect spellcasting, stealth, unarmed combat speed, or melee accuracy.

Barding can be maximally enchanted to +4 using a scroll of enchant armour.
