=== Natural Armor ===

A template can have one or more types of natural armor.

;Absorption: Each type of armor has an absorption feature with a value of at least 1. The absorption value is the amount of attack power the armor can block from a single attack.

{|
| width="20" | || style="width:3em" align="center" |  1  || tough skin, scales or guard hairs
|-
| || align="center" |  2  || big scales, small bones in skin, thick padding
|-
| || align="center" | 3-5 || large bony plates, flattened ribs
|-
| || align="center" | 5-9 || carapace, bony sheild, hard shell
|-
| || align="center" | 10+ || extremely thick and tough armor
|}

;Cover: Each type of natural armor also has a cover feature with a value from 1 to 9 or ''complete''. The cover value is the area protected by the armor.
{|
| width="20" | || style="width:3em" align="center" |  1 || limited armor - protects a specific area of the body like a shield
|-    
| || align="center" | 3 || partial armor   - more areas covered but less than 50%
|-    
| || align="center" | 5 || extensive armor - at least 50% cover like a shell or carapace
|-
| || align="center" | 7 || mostly armored  - covers most of the body but exposes large ares
|-
| || align="center" | 9 || fully armored   - covers the whole body but has weak points
|-    
| || align="center" | &nbsp;complete&nbsp; || tough hide   - full cover without weak points
|}

;Natural Armor CP: The CP of natural armor is 5 multiplied by the cover and absorption values, or 50 multiplied by the absorption if the cover is complete. For example, natural armor with 3 cover and 2 absorption is worth 30 CP, and natural armor with complete cover and 4 absorption is worth 200 CP.
