Term: Armor

Armor is a kind of wearable gear for many creatures, which often give stats. Armor, the item, refers to what's worn on the main body. This does not include surrounding bits like boots/shoes, gauntlets, helmets, capes, etc, as that can be made of other (and different) materials that refer to the whims of the wearer. All Armors give an Armor Class / AC, while some give Armor HP.

Armor mainly comes in 3 types, Light Armor, Medium Armor, Heavy Armor. Shields are also considered Armor, but are also Weapons, and are a bit more flexible in concept and design.

All armor can be found at the Rule: Armor, Shields, and Gear page.
