Armor (DF)

Many creatures can incapacitate or even kill an unarmored delver with a solid blowHonestly you may just want to make some monsters less deadly! --Cherrio01--as such, armor of many kinds is the mark of a professional delver.from Armor section, DFRPG: Adventurers, p.108-110 Armor provides damage resistance based on its material (see table below).
Armor protects against various threats--teeth, claws, weapons, falling rocks, dragon's fire, and plenty of missile spells!Anything that doesn't bypass DR through Special Damage, see Exploits, p.56-57 Unless otherwise stated, DR from armor is "flat" and reduces all incoming damage types.Not including strange and exotic attacks that strike at the Delver directly, such as Regular spells!
== Armor Table ==
Using the math from the armor table, this is a big list of armor pieces! These are the default, stock-standard type, with no enchantments.DFRPG: Adventurers, p.108-109 Just as in real life, armor protects whatever body part it's worn upon. For higher DR, a Delver can switch to fancier armor, or have their armor enchanted, or even have armor that's simply made of finer materials. Knights with Armor Mastery will certainly be interested in layering armor.
