Armour

Armour is a Mitigation Rating that is representative of an Entity's ability to absorb physical harm.

Armour reduces any Meat Damage received by the total Armour of the Entity.

Characters and Vehicles have a base Armour of 0. Additional Armour can be gained from sources such as Racial Abilities, Masteries, Items and [Components].

Please Note: As per Universal Rule #4 Armour, provided by differently named sources, does Stack.

Example: Penny the Bouncer has Combat Armour giving her 4 Armour and a Combat Barricade giving her an additional 4 Armour for a total of 8.

Penny is Successfully Attacked by a ganger with a Pistol, who deals 10 Meat Damage. Before it is assigned to Penny's Health or Barrier it is Mitigated first. Penny has 8 Armour which Mitigates 8 of this Meat Damage reducing the total she would receive to her Health or Barrier to 2.
