Leather Work (sage field)

Leather work is a sage field available to bards, describing the making of unusual organic products from plants and animals, reaching well beyond the tanning and processing of leather. The study also incorporates many odd skills related to candle-making, perfumes, honey, opium, caviar and more.

The field includes the following sage studies:

• Animal Products (sage study): the transformation of animal parts and derived substances into useful and commercial products.

• Hides & Skins (sage study): the treatment and process underlying the transformation of skins and hides into leather, including skinning, tanning, tawing and the making of parchment.

• Leather Armour (sage study): the fashioning of leather as a protective covering used to prevent damage from being inflicted by attacks during combat, for both humanoids and animal mounts.

• Leather Clothing (sage study): the making of leather garments and gear for both practicality and high fashion, as well as protection against the elements.

• Leathercraft (sage study): the practice of making animal skins and hides into objects of many forms, including a mastery over the methods of production and the use of leather for protection and the use of leather as an adornment for aesthetic appeal, dyeing, painting, carving, stamping and moulding.
