Wooden armor is a suit of padded cloth armor which has been reinforced with various carved wooden parts. The wooden parts used are quite sophisticated, usually consisting of laminated sheets of coppiced ironwood (such as buloke, lignum vitae, or grey ironbark) glued to sheets of a very soft wood (such as balsa, soft pine, or linden). The resulting wooden parts are extremely durable but light, and wooden armor is actually buoyant enough to give the wearer a +2 to Movement checks when swimming. Due to the way its rigid parts allow the skin to breathe, it adds 3 points of protection against hot weather environmental effects, which stacks with hot weather clothing and other sources of environmental DR. This type of armor may be constructed from scavenged materials at no cost, but doing so requires a full day.
