Revision as of 14:22, 5 December 2015

The base d20 armor rules are sad and result in everyone wearing pretty much the same armor. The history of armor in Trinity is such that we've got pretty much the same problem: everyone wears a leather trench, and calls it a day. These new rules are adapted from the Tomes and are intended to fix that problem.

These rules are intended to function with the Trinity Defenses rules; as such, some of the information below may not be applicable to other d20-derived games.

Mechanics

Should probably explain what some of this stuff means and how armor works now.

Maybe in a bit.

List

The following is the list of armor and shields in Trinity.
