"description":"<h1>Light Armour</h1><p>If your character prefers to avoid combat but knows that he is likely to be involved all the same, you might like your character to have some minimal protection. Light armour could represent extensive body coverage in soft leathers, or less coverage in thicker leather, or even light mail. So your character could wear a stout leather jerkin with leather vambraces, or a padded cloth doublet, leather boots and gloves. Or you could say that your light armour consists of a light mail shirt and nothing else.</p><p>Light armour is generally concealable (except on close inspection or by a seasoned soldier) and doesn’t mark you out specifically as a warrior.</p><h2>Light armour effects</h2><ul><li>Roll a d6-3 (0-3 points of damage reduction).</li><li>If you prefer static numbers, light armour absorbs 1 point of damage.</li><li>Wearing light armour restricts magicians and imposes an extra 1 Arcane Point cost on a spell casting.</li></ul>"
"description":"<h1>Heavy Armour</h1><p>This armour is worn by some gladiators, knights going into battle, or those expecting to participate in deadly combat in the near future. It is not worn all day long, and is certainly not worn when travelling or going about normal daily activities. Heavy armour would represent extensive coverage of mail, such as a knee- length hauberk, with gauntlets and greaves, or a steel breastplate with vambraces and greaves, or possibly a brigandine (leather coat with steel inserts) with gauntlets and boots.</p><p>Someone in heavy armour can usually remove portions of their armour to reduce it to medium armour, as necessary.</p><p>If your strength is below 0, you can’t wear heavy armour at all (at least you can’t do anything worthwhile whilst wearing it).</p><h2>Heavy armour effects</h2><ul><li>roll a d6-1 (0-5 points of damage reduction).</li><li>If you prefer static numbers, heavy armour absorbs 3 points of damage.</li><li>Heavy armour slows you down, so reduce agility by 2 whilst wearing it.</li><li>Wearing heavy armour restricts magicians and imposes an extra 3 Arcane Points cost on a spell casting.</li></ul>"
"description":"<h1>Medium Armour</h1><p>Combining some of the mobility of the lighter armour and better protection of heavy armour, this is the armour worn by the typical adventurer expecting to get into combat situations on a regular basis. Medium armour could represent fairly extensive coverage of leather armour, with stiffened leather in some of the more vital areas, or partial coverage of mail with leather in other areas. It could even represent a steel breastplate and minimal/no other armour.</p><p>Someone in medium armour can often remove portions of their armour to reduce it to light armour, as necessary.</p><h2>Medium armour effects</h2><ul><li>Roll a d6-2 (0-4 points of damage reduction).</li><li>If you prefer static numbers, medium armour absorbs 2 points of damage.</li><li>Wearing medium armour restricts magicians and imposes an extra 2 Arcane Points cost on a spell casting.</li></ul>"
"description":"<h1>Helmet</h1><p>If you are wearing a helmet, this adds +1 to your protection if already wearing armour. Therefore, if in light armour and helmet, you’d roll d6-2. In medium armour, roll d6-1. In heavy armour, roll d6.</p><p>Helmets give you a penalty in social situations and to your initiative (as it’s harder to notice things whilst wearing a helmet).</p><p>Most Heroes take their helmets off, unless preparing for battle.</p>"
