Leather Armor skill

Leather armor is by far the most popular and widely used armor. Known for its annoyingly high base hindrance, its absurdly high cost for a decent set, and just plain bad protection, why does anyone use it? 3 reasons. Paladins, Thieves, Rangers and Barbarians can all train leather to 0% hindrance. Thats it. If you aren't one of them, then your wasting your time except to use a leather accessories for TDPs. Tanned masks are especially good to supplementing chain helmets that lack eye protection.
