This enhanced form of Padded armor has internal layers specifically designed to trap arrows, bolts, darts, shuriken, thrown daggers, and other small ranged piercing weapons. When these kinds of weapons strike you, they tend to become  snagged in these layers and fail to harm you.

Benefit: You gain DR 3/- against attacks of this kind (small piercing weapons). The special  layers of the armor have no effect on other kinds of weapons.
