Footnotes & Notes
- ¹ Characters must possess the Mandaquan Quirk in order to benefit from the Amysram’s PR.
- ² Characters must possess the Tazian Combat Quirk in order to benefit from the Garde’s PR.
All armor is rated according to Protection Rating (PR), weight in pounds (WT), minimum strength required to employ the armor (STR), and average cost. Characters have a -1 penalty to all actions for each point their Strength Rating falls short of the armor’s minimum STR requirement.
All metal armor is assumed to be constructed of black iron. For red iron, divide the WT by 2, subtract 1 from the STR, and double the Cost. For blue iron, divide the WT by 4, subtract 2 from the STR, and quadruple the cost. For adamant armor, the WT and STR remain unchanged, but multiply the cost by 10, and double the PR.
