Early plate mail is heavy and hot, but still offers excellent protection against most contemporary weapons. Wearing plate is considered a sign of prestige among the nobles of Aysle.

A hodgepodge of metal plates with sharpened protruding barbs, nails, and blades. The spikes add the armor’s bonus to grappling tests when Grappling (see page 123) or resisting a grapple.

Also known as bulletproof vests or Kevlar armor. Made of synthetic material designed to catch and stop bullets as they spin into different protective layers.

Lighter and more comfortable than a ballistic vest, and designed more to stop slashing and piercing weapons. Still somewhat effective against bullets.

Modern military grade protection featuring different layers, a helmet, and nearly full coverage while still allowing good mobility.

Made with thick but lightweight sheets of HardPlas, a synthetic material with very high tensile strength. As the primary armor of all Church Police very limited quantities are legitimately for sale, but a thriving black market operates around re-purposed suits plundered from fallen Streetbeaters.

Servo assisted power armor that only the elite strike teams of the Cyberchurch have access to. It automatically comes equipped with an Augmented Reality HUD.

Light, glittery, clothlike hybrid material designed to refract and redistribute energy. Reflec comes in various colors. It refracts light, which usually surrounds the armor in a dazzling corona, adding its armor rating to the wearer’s dodge against all energy weapons.

Bone and hide armor consists of finely shaped bone pieces carefully sewn into the hide. It is very difficult to make, for if the bone layer does not conform in shape to the user, it breaks easily in combat.

The chitinous shells of the Living Land’s larger insects can be adapted into formidable armor. The result is uncomfortable and restricting, but resistant to even advanced weaponry.

Crafted from the extremely durable roots of the hrockt tree, this armor is highly protective but also immobile without the will of Lanala. To be of any use the wearer must be a jakatt, with one or more adds in faith (Keta Kalles) and a Spirit Axiom of 11 or more. If the local axiom is lower this armor does cause a Contradiction.

A thick set of coveralls woven with fire resistant material.

Thick iron plates, intricately hinged together to form a long overshirt. Includes a thick pot helmet, faceplate, and ankle greaves. Friend and foe alike call the hardy Victorian shocktroops who wear this armor juggernauts.

A long overcoat made from the treated skins of various beasts that once terrorized the innocent. The monsters of Orrorsh are notoriously hardy, so leather made from their hides is especially durable.

A light textile woven by nano-machines. IriMesh looks and feels similar to silk, but with even more tensile strength. IriMesh can be worn at elegant banquets without looking out of place, and doesn’t raise security concerns at checkpoints.

These suits of full body armor are designed for Kanawa’s security forces, but more than a few have fallen into the hands of rebels and independent Storm Knights. The suits are made of black laminate and resemble early samurai armor.

A series of clasps, cups, and form-fitting plates that fasten onto various parts of the wearer’s body. Those who prefer subtlety strap sheathing under loose clothing. Some East Asian street gangs have taken to decorating the pieces and wearing them atop their clothing like sports padding.

Black metallic armor cobbled together from energy-diffusing salvage. It resembles obsidian, and energy skitters across its surface, sizzling and popping until it coalesces and re-emerges projected at some different angle.

Killing a demon and taking its skin is hard. Finding chemicals powerful enough to tan and cure it is even harder. The result is worth it—light, supple, and extremely tough. The Fatigue effect isn’t from the weight of the armor, but from the discomfort and nightmares produced by the skin still writhing with evil.
