Your defenses, by default, are listed on the table above. Each of these numbers might be modified by the armor that you choose to wear.

Some medium armor and all heavy armor have a STR minimum, a DEX maximum, and a speed modifier. If you don armor and your STR is less than the STR minimum, your Speed becomes 0 and you gain the Dazed condition. | Some medium armor and all heavy armor have a STR minimum, a DEX maximum, and a speed modifier.

While wearing armor with a DEX maximum, your DEX cannot be higher than that number; if it was higher than that number, it is reduced to the DEX maximum while wearing such armor. This affects your REF defense. If you have a speed modifier from your armor, apply it to the distance that you can move each time you spend AP. There are talents that can reduce this penalty. | While wearing armor with a DEX maximum, your DEX cannot be higher than that number; if it was higher than that number, it is reduced to the DEX maximum while wearing such armor.

'''Barding''' | === '''Barding''' === | ||
You can purchase barding, or specialized armor, for an animal. This can be any armor besides shields. Barding costs twice the normal sc of armor if the animal is Medium or smaller. It costs four times the normal sc if the animal is Large, and eight times the sc if Huge. Creatures larger than Huge cannot have barding unless the MC decides otherwise. | |||
