Fragmented

Armor that has taken damage that reduces its Hit Points to 0 is Fragmented. Armor with the fragmented condition, regardless of type, is worthless. Armor loses the fragmented condition if it regains any positive hit points or higher. Generally speaking, this requires a DC 40 Mechanic check and 4 hours of work to be completely repaired, the time is reduced by 10 minutes for each multiple of two the check exceeds. Most mechanics charge one-thrid of the armor's total cost to repair such damage.
