Could anyone here answer a question about armor? I'm making up another D&D character for the fun of it. One of the options for armor was 'studded leather armor', which I gave him. I want to draw a character picture, but I realized that I don't know what studded leather armor would look like. The dictionary just says that a stud is a 'a large-headed piece of metal that pierces and projects from a surface'. I don't know if 'large-headed' would mean it's small but protrudes quite a bit, wide and covers a fair amount of area, or either-or (and there was no entry in my dictionary). I tried Wikipedia, but all a found were a few references in passing and some not-very-helpful pictures. So would studded leather have a bunch of small pieces of metal in a pattern that covers most-to-all of the surface of the armor, a few big pieces of metal that covers key parts of the armor, or a combination thereof? Anybody? I had a look on Google and most of the images showed me small studs that cover joints in the armour. For example  Something like that...I think. |

Anybody? Studs are basically used to attach one piece of metal or leather to another piece of metal or leather. In a lot of drawings you see, they're depicted as metal dots lined up on the parts where the metal or leather is attached to each other. Here's a picture of a studded leather gauntlet. While the main part of this piece is studded for decoration, you can see the softer leather attached to the harder leather by a line of studs. I hope that helped? EDIT: Actually... I believe that studs are merely the result the rivets in the metal or leather, and not the primary means of attachment. |

Hello friends!
Remember my theory about all O13 members being nobodies of other FF characters? I thinks Xigbar might = Auron o.o
*is in a weird fandom mood right now*

Oh no...
My mom says that J.D. was at set construction today. So that might mean he's joining stage crew.
