| − | Due to our [[D20_Mechanic:_Defenses|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.
| + | #REDIRECT [[d20 Mechanic: 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.
