Druidic elves use secret alchemical compounds to treat special leaves used in crafting armor for their warriors. Stitching the overlapping leaves into a leather jerkin, bracers, and leggings provides great flexibility while deflecting blows as well as metal armor. Leaf armor is always masterwork. It cannot be constructed from other special materials.

Magic Item:
Armor of Fallen Leaves
A riot of red, yellow, and orange leaves has been sewn
together into a rigid suit of armor resembling a breastplate.
This suit of armor functions as a +1 wild breastplate. Because it is nonmetallic, wearing this armor does not violate a druid's
spiritual oaths, though it has the durability of steel.
Once per day you can cause the leaves of the armor to turn brown
and scatter on the breeze. During this process, you merge with the fallen
leaves and disappear. Though the leaves appear to flutter near the ground, they
are actually under your disembodied control. While in this state, you can move
and interact with your environment as if you were under the effect of a gaseous
form spell. This effect lasts for up to 30 minutes or until you use a standard
action to end it.
A leaf creature can’t run, but it can fly at a speed of 10
feet and automatically succeeds on all Fly skill checks. It can pass through small
holes or narrow openings, even mere cracks big enough to allow theleaves to
slip through, with all it was wearing or holding in its hands, as long as the
spell persists.
The creature is subject to the effects of wind, and it can’t
enter water or other liquid. It also can’t manipulate objects or activate
items, even those carried along with its gaseous form. Continuously active
items remain active, though in some cases their effects may be moot.
