Armor increases your six defenses. Light, medium, and heavy armor, as well as shields, all follow the same basic principles.

Defenses
Defense Defense Score
Armor Rating (AR) 10
Physical Defenses
Reflexes (REF) 10 + DEX
Fortitude (FORT) 10 + END
Mental Defenses
Anticipation (ANT) 10 + AWR

Your defenses, by default, are listed on the Defenses table.

Each of these numbers might be modified by the armor that you choose to wear.

On the Armor tables, each type of armor specifies your new AR, as well as listing modifiers to the five defenses that are based on your attributes.

STR, DEX, and Speed

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.

While wearing armor with a DEX maximum, your DEX cannot exceed that number; if your DEX 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.

Resistance Specialization

The Resist column on the armor allows you to apply Resist to certain kinds of damage, but you can only do so if you have taken a Second Skin talent that allows you to unlock this added bonus.

Heavy Armor

Heavy armor has the unwieldy tag when carrying it, but not while wearing it.

Shields

Each shield has the one-handed tag unless otherwise stated. While using a shield, you can only wield light weapons in your other hand, although talents can remove this restriction.

While they are listed as a type of armor, shields are unique given that they are strapped to your arm rather than worn. Shields do not prevent you from utilizing the benefits of talents that require you not to be wearing armor.

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.

Armor Enhancements. Harker's Guide for Vampire Hunting.

Armor Enhancements allow you to modify the stats of the armor that you already own.
