Bardic Leather Descriptions

[CamDawg]

Bardic Leathers and Bardic Leathers +1 have slightly different unidentified descriptions; I was wondering if this is by design:

 

This suit is particularly light and well - crafted, allowing the casting of arcane spells while worn. Although designed for bards in particular, it can be worn and used to cast arcane spells without penalty by anyone normally able to use studded leather armour.

The unidentified Bardic Leathers +1 seems to use the generic Studded Leather description. To me it would make more sense to use the above description for unidentified.

 

Studded leather armor has little in common with normal leather armor.  Instead of a hardened shell, studded leather offers hundreds of metal rivets affixed to a supple backing.  The numerous studs form a flexible coat of metal that helps to turn aside slashing and cutting attacks, while the leather is little more than a means of securing the rivets in place.

I did that because when the magic leathers are unidentified, you'd not know what their properties were.

But you'd know they were bardic leathers. If unenchanted bardic leather has a special unidentified description, this should be shared with the enchanted armours.

Hmm. Yeh. Ok.
