Leather armor confers two points of AC without hindering spellcasting, and is worn in the main armor slot. It does not need to be identified (except for enchantment). Leather armor can be created by killing a leather golem, or can be worn into the dungeon by a caveman or a rogue. Leather armor is resistant to rust but susceptible to rot.

Many spellcasters prefer leather or studded leather armor in the early game, as neither hinders spellcasting. It can also be easy to find positively enchanted leather armor by curse-testing and then wear-testing armor dropped by leather golems.
