3.1.1. Leather – Armor constructed of tanned animal hide.
3.2. Armor must be passed by Marshals from two separate realms, assuming an inter-realm event.

3.4. Armor may not have protrusions that rise more than ½ inch from the surface.
3.5. The minimum thickness for leather Armor is 3/16 inch. The minimum thickness requirement can be achieved by layering up to two pieces of thinner leather.
3.7. Composite Armor
- 3.7.1. Studded, scaled, or brigandine Armor can only be counted as Armor if 2/3 of the target area is covered by metal or leather, or the studs/rings/plates can not be no more than 1/2 inch apart.
- 3.7.2. Composite Armor must be identifiable as Armor by appearance.

1. Armor must be worn while it is being checked.
2. Check and make sure the armor conforms to the standards of the Book of War.
3. Run your hands along the surface of the armor looking for gaps that may catch fabric or skin. Also check for loose or broken rivets.
