I am the most anti-patchwork armor guy there. Dont waste your money. its
only good till about 6th level. Its garbage. Just by a piece of leather or
raw hide, (same stats cept raw-hide is heavier) You can get a full suit of
leather for about 20 plat. Patchwork...blah. Waste of skill points and
money. TRhing longterm. Leather serves you well till about 12th level.
