Yeti Hide Armor +1 is a unique hide armor.

Properties[]

Though notably lighter than regular hide armor, yeti hide armor still inflicts the same penalties to the use of thief skills. The armor also provides resistance to cold damage at the cost of a small weakness to fire damage to the wearer.

Acquisition[]

Give 10 yeti pelts to Orrick the Gray in his tower in Kuldahar along with 2500gp. Return after three days to obtain the armor. There is no option to have Orrick create additional sets of yeti pelt hide armor, even if more yeti pelts are brought to him.

Description[]

Hide armor is made from the thick hide of a very large animal (yeti, in this case) or from many layers of normal leather from common animals, like cows. Hide armor is far too bulky, inflexible and heavy to be used much in advanced human cultures. However, among the barbaric humanoid masses throughout the dark forests and misty jungles of the world, hide armor is common. Even though it does provide more protection than leather armor, one must get by the offensive odor and shoddy appearance in order to wear it effectively. Even though Thieves can wear this armor, it has a negative effect on their abilities.


This particular set of armor was cured by Conlan and enchanted by Orrick. Orrick was not able to quite get rid of its inherited weakness against fire, though it offers some natural protection against cold.
