: Sharkskin armor is similar to leather armor in appearance but is in fact slightly tougher. Developed by the [[Selkie | selkies]], it is treated so that the sharp scales covering the skin remain attached to the outer surface of the armor. Additionally, shark teeth are embedded along the forearms, shoulders, and legs, which count as armor spikes.

Revision as of 11:55, 24 April 2016

Due to our defenses, armor requires a massive rework; this dovetails with changes that were originally planned to fix the issues with armor in Trinity where everyone wears pretty much the same armor.

In addition, these rules also dramatically change how shields work.

Mechanics

This section explains how the mechanics for armor and shields work.

Armor

Armor comes in four types: cloth, leather, mail, and plate.

Each armor has a subtype: light, medium, and heavy.

The type of armor determines its primary defense, while the subtype determines its secondary.

All armors give you a +6 armor bonus to the armor's primary defense, and a +3 armor bonus to the armor's secondary defense. If your armor is a Force item, and you are attuned, it provides its attunement bonus to its primary defense.

Unlike standard d20, armor does not reduce your movement speed, does not give a penalty to some skill checks, and does not negatively affect casting.

Shields

Instead of providing a static bonus to your defenses, shields are instead an active defensive mechanism.

When you are attacked (be it with a weapon, Force effect, or otherwise), if you are wielding a shield, you can spend a reaction to make a block with your shield. The formula for a block is as follows:

d20 + base save bonus + shield bonus + ability modifier

The ability modifier you use is the same as the ability modifier you would have used for the normal defense against the attack.

Unlike with armor, there are two types of shields: light and heavy. A light shield provides a +4 shield bonus, while a heavy shield provides a +8 shield bonus. Shields are effective against all forms of attack, and provide their bonus regardless of the defense the attack targeted. If your shield is a Force item, and you are attuned, it provides its attunement bonus to the block roll.

Light shields allow you to make use of that hand (and thus you can still benefit from two-handed weapons, make skill checks that require both hands, and so forth); a heavy shield is large and bulky enough that you cannot use that hand for anything other than the shield.

Basic Armor

The following is the list of armor in Trinity. These are basic armors; that is, they are not Force aligned.

ARMOR AND SHIELDS
Name Subtype Primary Defense Secondary Defense Cost
CLOTH
Clothes Light Will Reflex 2 kp
Outfit Medium Will Determination 4 kp
Gear Heavy Will Fortitude 6 kp
LEATHER
Jack Light Reflex Will 5 kp
Leathers Medium Reflex Determination 10 kp
Coat Heavy Reflex Fortitude 15 kp
MAIL
Harness Light Determination Will 8 kp
Mail Medium Determination Reflex 12 kp
Hauberk Heavy Determination Fortitude 16 kp
PLATE
Cuirass Light Fortitude Will 10 kp
Battlegear Medium Fortitude Reflex 15 kp
Fullplate Heavy Fortitude Determination 20 kp
SHIELDS
Shield, Light Light Any --- 4 kp
Shield, Heavy Heavy Any --- 12 kp
