Description
Wearing a waistcloth grants 0 base AC and 0 base DR. It does not grant any magic cancellation. Wearing or removing a waistcloth takes a single turn. A waistcloth is light armor and grants an AC bonus equal to (dexterity - 11)2 (rounded down), and in its default shape it can fit on bulkier humanoid bodies such as those of centaurs. Monks can wear waistcloths without suffering any to-hit penalty.
