	;Armor: Any equipment with ~~a cover modifier greater~~ than 0 ~~can be considered~~ armor. Every piece of armor equipped has a chance of blocking an attack. Sort the armor from the highest absorption (Abs) to the lowest. For each ~~item~~ in ~~the list - starting with the first -~~ compare the character's ~~combat dice~~ roll (~~unmodified by anything~~ on the ~~charactersheet,~~) the cover ~~modifier~~ of the item plus the cover ~~modifier~~ of all of the items before it.

Every piece of armor equipped has a chance of blocking an attack. Sort the armor from the highest absorption (Abs) to the lowest. For each piece of armor in that order compare the character's unmodified defense die roll (the number on the die before adding any modifiers) to the cover of the item plus the cover of all of the items before it. If the total cover is greater than or equal to the the roll, then the attack is blocked by that armor, and no other items should be checked.

	~~For example if~~ a ~~character has~~ armor ~~with a cover of 3, and he rolls a 4 when he defends against~~ an attack, ~~then his armor does not absorb any of the power of the attack, and he is damaged by~~ the ~~full force of the attack if that attack is successful (because 3 < 4.)

	Sometimes armor is worn in layers. A brigandine (vest lined with metal plates) is often worn over a gambeson (padded coat) or chainmail. If one piece of armor is completely overlapped by another, add the absorption of the armor with more cover to the absorption of the armor with less cover, and subtract the cover of the armor with less cover from the cover of the armor with more cover.		:For example, if a character has armor with a cover of 3, and he rolls a 4 when he defends against an attack, then his armor does not absorb any of the power of the attack, and he is damaged by the full force of the attack if that attack is successful (because 3 < 4.)

-'''Damaging Equipment''' - When a weapon or armor is hit (by a successful attack, absorbing attack power, or hitting too hard,) the item's absorption is reduced by the attack power, minus the item's toughness.

Each of these areas should be treated as a separate piece of armor.
