Armor Chart

 ARMOR

 There is no limitations which type of armor a character may wear. As long as he can afford it or find it, he may wear it. However, there is a hindrance to wearing armor, this is reflected in the armor penalty (see armor chart). 

ARMOR RATING: reduces the amount of hit points of damage taken from all sources (see armor chart). * penetrating attacks halve armor value rounded down. 

ARMOR PENALTY: is subtracted from any skill performed while wearing the armor of that type. The warrior skill, armor training (see character creation book), reduces that penalty by 1 for each level of armor training skill.
