Armor Elaborated

Armor follows mostly the same rule set as 5e, and the same pricing scale. However the major differences is Mods will be taking the place of magical enchantments. See the Armor Weapon and Item Mods page for more details and examples. Whatever you might expect in magical armor can be found in a mod which can be moved over to other gear within specific slots. There are rare unique weapons and armor which may or may not have mods with locked slots. There can also be more advanced versions of the typical armors. Armors are typically seperated into light, medium, and heavy, following the same rules we shall go through them here.
