Armour provides bonus HP based on the type and how much of your body it covers.
The maximum HP a player can have from adding together their base HP, armour, and bonuses from helmets and costuming is 13 HP.
Players can gain further temporary HP with spells and potions.
1. Armour Categories
[edit]Armour is divided into two categories:
1.1. Heavy Armour
[edit]- Includes metal plate, chainmail, brigandine, or overlapping metal pieces (like lamellar or scales).
- Metal must be at least 1 mm thick.
- Lamellar and scale must overlap to count as heavy.
1.2. Light Armour
[edit]Any armour not classified as heavy, such as:
- Leather (minimum 2mm thick)
- Quilted padding
- Costume or plastic armour made to resemble metal or fantasy materials
- Metal-boned corsets
2. Armour Zones and Coverage
[edit]The body is divided into 16 armour zones:
- Arms: Forearms (2), Elbows (2), Upper arms (2)
- Legs: Thighs (2), Knees (2), Lower legs (2)
- Torso: Upper chest, Belly, Upper back, Lower back (4 total)
To count toward your armour HP bonus, each zone must be covered by at least 60% of the appropriate armour type.
