Armor

The Armor skill allows a character to effectively wear different kinds of armor.

Description
A character can only gain the bonus of an armor type if they have the appropriate level. He/she also gains the ability to "repair" the armor while recuperating. Initially the character also learns how to use a shield.

Shields may be used with fists/claws, small weapons, or large weapons but may not be used with staffs, spears or two handed weapons. They can block melee delivered attacks or ranged weapon attacks that target the character but cannot block packet delivered attacks.

For details on different armor types and what they are worth, see the Armor rules page.
