Hell-bent for Leather

Leatherworking can become an essential aspect of any Dungeons & Dragons campaign. This skill allows characters to create practical and aesthetically pleasing items, from armor and personal storage to saddles and camping gear. Leatherworkers can provide customization opportunities that will enable players to showcase their individuality, contribute to the party's income generation, and bolster their defenses. Whether you are a player looking to personally create your equipment or a dungeon master looking to add depth to your world, furriers and tanners are an essential part of the game.

Perhaps the most obvious and widely utilized talent of leatherworkers is their ability to craft light and flexible armor. While some players may choose to purchase armor from a shop or find it on their adventures, many players prefer to create and customize their own. Leather armor is a versatile, light type that almost any class can wear that is particularly useful for those that rely on stealth, such as rogues and rangers. Like most other types of armor, skilled magic users can also enchant leather with various magical properties, increasing its effectiveness in combat.

While there are specialists like cobblers and armorers, highly capable leatherworkers may also have the skill and tools to create other types of protective gear, such as boots, gloves, and helmets. These items can provide players additional protection and be customized to fit each player's unique style. For example, a rogue may want a pair of boots that allow them to move more quietly, while a paladin may wish to have a helmet that provides extra protection against specific enemies.

Still, there's more to leatherworking than combat-ready creations. Players may search for leather bags and backpacks that provide additional storage space for carrying useful items and valuable loot. Leatherworkers can also make tents, bedrolls, and other camping gear, which can be helpful for players who spend a lot of time traveling or camping out in the wilderness.

Till the Cows Come Home

As one may guess by now, one of the most significant advantages of leatherworking is its versatility. Skilled artisans can create various items, from clothing to accessories to furniture. Such versatility allows leatherworkers to specialize in a particular product or cater to diverse player needs, making them an invaluable asset to any adventuring party, depending on their wishes.

For certain players, the ability to customize gear can make a competent leatherworker especially beneficial. While characters can purchase pre-made armor and items from shops or stumble upon them on their adventures, they often lack the personality many players prefer. Leatherworking allows players to create items distinctive to their character, reflecting their unique style and identity. For example, a bard may want a leather jacket matching his lute case, while a druid may wish for a backpack made from and adorned with natural materials.

Leatherworking can also be a lucrative business for players. While not all will want to become full-time leather craftspeople, they can make a significant amount of gold by selling their items to other players or shops. This side hustle can be especially useful for players struggling to make ends meet or who want to save up for something costly. Becoming a craftsperson can also allow players to express their creativity and give them an outlet outside the standard adventure. Creating a high-quality leather item requires skill and patience; players who master this can take pride in their creations while helping their fellow party members.
