You can always start play with at least one piece or set of armor. Any of the armor listed below can be made or acquired freely, however you can not add the following tags to any armor by any means without explicit Admin approval.

​

Analogous armors not on this list must be of common-place and widely used Medieval or Renaissance European design (or Middle-Eastern only if your character herself/himself comes from Sulgate).

 

Armor Tags

Armor, like weapons, has tags. Some are purely descriptive but the ones below have some mechanical effect on the player wearing them.

• n Armor: When you take damage, subtract your armor from n. If you have more than one item with n Armor, only the highest value counts.

• +n Armor: It protects you and stacks with other armor. Add n value to your total armor.

•  Clumsy: It’s tough to move around with; take -1 ongoing while using it. This penalty is cumulative.
