Monsters can have three levels of armor: Medium, Heavy, and Supreme. Monster armor reduces the value on the primary die roll as follows:
If the monster's armor reduces the primary die result to a 1 or lower, the attack misses. This penalty is applied before any character abilities that modify the primary dies.
A Critical Hit ignores monster armor, so does not reduce the primary die.
Most monsters are unarmored, but some tougher foes might have:
- Medium Armor: –5 damage from incoming attacks.
- Heavy Armor: –10 damage from incoming attacks.
Crits ignore monster armor.
Some monsters may also be Vulnerable (+10 damage) or Resistant (–10 damage) to certain kinds of attacks.
