Any equipment with cover and absorption is armor. Normally, the best absorption of all the armor worn by a character is subtracted from the power of successful attacks against the character. However an attacker can aim any attack to avoid armor, which increases the difficulty of the attack by the cover of the armor avoided. The attack can avoid all or just some of the armor a character is wearing.

Consider for example a character wearing a leather jacket (5 cover, 1 absorption) and a crash helmet (2 cover, 3 absorption). If an opponent attacks the character without specifically avoiding the character's armor, the armor will absorb 3 power from each attack. If an opponent tries to hit the character where the armor provides no protection, the armor will absorb no damage, but the difficulty will be increased by 7 (5 cover from the jacket plus 2 cover from the helmet.) However, the opponent can also try to avoid only the helmet. Then the leather jacket absorbs 1 power from each attack but the difficulty of the attack is only increased by 2 (the helmet's cover.)

Sometimes armor is worn in layers.  A brigandine (vest lined with metal plates) is often worn over a gambeson (padded coat) or chainmail. Bulletproof ballistic vests often have optional inserts which offer extra protection to vital areas such as the heart. If one piece of armor is completely overlapped by another, the overlapping area has the cover of the smaller piece of armor and the absorption of both pieces added together. (This is like subtracting the cover of the layer with the least cover from the cover of the layer with the most cover, and adding the absorption of the layer with the most cover to the absorption of the armor with the least cover.)

Health[edit]

Stun and Resting
Stun is the short-term effect of pain and injury. Characters can recover stun with the rest action. When characters are incapacitated they recover half of their stun (rounded up) each turn.
Damage and Healing
Damage is the long-term effect of injuries that heal slowly. Characters usually have a chance to recover damage once per week. This requires a success roll against the difficulty 10 plus 1 for every day the character exerted himself (by travelling or fighting for example) during that week, plus 1 for every time the character took damage or stun, and plus 5 for every time the character was incapacitated by damage. (There is no penalty for being incapacitated by a combination of stun and damage.) If the roll is successful, the character recovers half of his damage, rounded up. For example if the character has 5 damage and successfully heals, then he will recover 3 damage, leaving him with only 2 damage after healing.
Sharpness
Sharpness determines whether the attack power that gets through the target's armor becomes stun or damage. All the power of a sharp weapon becomes damage. Half the power (rounded down) of a blunt weapon becomes damage and the rest becomes stun. For example, 5 power getting through the target's armor absorption would become 2 damage and 3 stun to the target. All the power of a padded weapon becomes stun.
Healthy
A character is healthy when the sum of his stun and damage is less than his toughness.
Injured
A character is injured when the sum of his stun and damage less than his stamina but not less than his toughness. An injured character cannot do combos or strenuous actions.
Incapacitated
A character is incapacitated when the sum of his stun and damage is greater than or equal to his stamina. An incapacitated character cannot move or perform actions.
