===== Armor =====

Armor is a type of [[Gear|Gear]] as well as a slot that the aforementioned Gear is [[equip|equipped]] into. A [[PC|PC]] can only equip one Armor at a time and only in the Armor slot unless otherwise specified.

Armor typically provides bonuses to the base [[reaction|Reaction]] in [[combat|combat]], particularly Defense entries, but may also bestow other effects.

Unlike most Gear, Armor cannot usually be changed during the [[Strategy Phase|Strategy Phase]]. Armor can only be equipped or removed outside of [[scenario|scenarios]] (or in scenarios where the [[dm|DM]] explicitly allows it; this is most common in exploration). The DM may note if it is impossible to change armor even outside of a scenario, particularly for more complex heavy Armor that can take some time to properly don or remove.

Training is required to equip Armor. Armor comes in light, medium, and heavy classifications; training in the labeled classification is required to equip the Armor. Armor training is typically provided by a [[Class|Class]].

Armor can be enhanced by adding an [[enchantment|Enchantment]]. Armor Enchantments usually provide additional bonuses to the character and/or their base Reaction rather than directly modifying the Armor's text.
