Armor Mods

Armor mods allow players to tailor their equipment to their needs or playstyles, allowing for a deeper amount of customization. Mods, as the name implies, are modifications, but they are also modular, allowing for players to switch them out when desired.

It takes the equivalent of a short rest (10 minutes to an hour) to swap out one mod, and a long rest to completely swap out mods.

Your stacks of elemental resistance are referred to as Armor Grade - Elemental, or AG-E. AG-E1 means any matching elemental damage dice, if they land on a 1, are eliminated from a roll.

Resistance Mods

Resistance mods allow players to prepare in advance for elemental damage. They function the same way as Armor Grades do, in that they eliminate damage dice from matching elemental types equal to the number of matching resistance mods equipped. You can stack up to 5 of the same type of elemental resistance mods.

As an example, armor modded with two Fire Resistant Inserts will eliminate any dice that land on a two or a one from a fire-based damage source.
