A military uniform is clothing and equipment worn by the soldiers of a kingdom when wearing metal armor is not feasible. These uniforms are designed for the purpose of identifying which faction the soldiers belong to and providing some protection at the same time. They are made of materials such as leather, resistant fabric and natural fibers to make these garments, some of them have metals used as decorative elements or as minimal protections.
Military uniforms can vary in shape, design, weight, cost, and other aspects, depending on the kingdom to which they belong. Each kingdom has its own distinctive style that reflects its culture, resources, and art. Some kingdoms might opt for simpler, more functional uniforms, while others might focus on elaborate detailing and ornamentation.
In terms of shape and design, the uniforms could include accessories such as capes, thin but long ponchos, or straps that go from one shoulder to the reverse hip, usually decorated with representative designs. The colors and patterns on the uniforms can be used to identify different units or ranks within the army. Additionally, the uniforms may be adorned with emblems, insignia, and symbols that represent the kingdom and its leaders.
Customizable Armor. The military uniform varies a lot from kingdom to kingdom as each kingdom can choose to add certain things to their military uniform to specialize it to their needs. Below is a list of improvements that can made to the armor when a kingdom makes their miliary uniform.
Better Stitching (6 gp). More time is spent putting the armor together properly, making it so those wearing the armor do not have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks because of wearing the armor.
Lightweight Material. (5 gp). The armor is put together using lighter hides and other protective pieces, making it so the armor weighs 4 lb. less.
Improved Protection (30 gp). The armor is outfitted with much better protection which increases the armor's AC by 1 to 12 + your Dexterity modifier.
Padding (10 gp). The armor is outfitted with padding, which increases its weight by 3 lb., but makes it so those wearing the armor take 1 less damage from bludgeoning damage.
Regalia (1 gp). Regalia that signifies the kingdom which the armor is designed for. May include different colorations or patterns based on what is needed.
Fancy Regalia (5 gp). Regalia used to show up other kingdoms military uniforms or used to denote special units or rank.
Streamlined Design. (3 gp) The armor has been designed to be less cumbersome to move in, making it so the armor no longer has a Strength requirement.
