Armor

Armor modifiers are removed from the attack's total damage. Different armors react differently to different damage types.

You will probably come across other forms of armor and for that, the GM will you give you information as needed.

Leather Cuirass 5 0 0
Studded Boiled Leather 10 0 0
Ring-mail 15 0 -3
Splinted-mail/Gambeson 20 10 -3

Armor can require repair.

ARMOR TYPE PARRY BONUS HP
Buckler 1 Metal
Targe 2 150

It should be noted that Lordly Plate renders maneuvers such as Through the Heart useless with a sword.

Helmets help prevent Brain Shots, Knockouts, and Concussions, etc.
