An armoured back can be built into an existing saddle as easily as it can be included in a new one. It consists of a wooden frame, covered in steel plate, riveted to the cantle of a saddle. The armoured back has a hardness of 10 and 20 hit points. It is two feet high and 18 inches wide. Rather than directly increasing the armour class of the rider, it provides him with partial cover against attacks from the rear.
