Armor

The armor is a form of protection that decreases damage received by players from attacks. The following points are relevant:

• All armor items are inventory actors derived from a subclass of Armor.
• Monsters can actually have armor too, if they are given some by a script.
• There exist two types of armor: BasicArmor and HexenArmor.
• For basic armors, there are two distinct values: the protection offered (Armor.SavePercent) and the armor status (Inventory.Amount).
• Basic armors can also offer special DamageFactor as a secondary form of protection, and their efficiency can be adjusted with the Armor.MaxAbsorb and Armor.MaxFullAbsorb properties.
• For Hexen armors, there is only a single value, the armor class, wich is used for both.
• Hexen armors are decomposed into four item slots and one basic slot, and the protection each slot provides is a function not of the armor items, but of the player class, through the Player.HexenArmor property. The armor rating is the sum of the points in all these slots.
• The default Hexen HUD displays an armor class that corresponds to the armor rating divided by five to show a total on a vigesimal base rather than a percentile value. Therefore, a displayed armor class of 10 corresponds to about 50% damage absorption and 50 remaining points of armor.

The standard armors include:

• AmuletOfWarding (Hexen)
• BlueArmor (Doom, 50% absorption, 200 points)
• EnchantedShield (Heretic, 75% absorption, 200 points)
• FalconShield (Hexen)
• GreenArmor (Doom, 33.333% absorption, 100 points)
• LeatherArmor (Strife, 33.333% absorption, 100 points)
• MeshArmor (Hexen)
• MetalArmor (Strife, 50% absorption, 200 points)
• PlatinumHelm (Hexen)
• SilverShield (Heretic, 50% absorption, 100 points)

The armor total can also be increased with the following items:

• ArmorBonus (1 point up to 200)
• ArtiBoostArmor (20 points of armor rating/4 points of armor class, or 50 points up to 300) (Hexen)
