Armor

Game Items that protect from damage.

Armor is game items that protect characters or avatars from various forms of damage. They can be armor similar to that in the real world or be fictive concepts such as magical defenses or high-tech force fields.

Often being combat-oriented, many Roleplaying Games have detailed rules for armor, e.g. Dungeons and Dragons, GURPS, and Hârnmaster, as well as the Dragon Age, Neverwinter Nights, and Elder Scrolls series. The Fallout series contain a multitude of armors (and clothing) that not only ofter players protection but also bonuses to skills and attributes. They do however deteriorate with use, as do the armors in The Elder Scrolls series, Entropia Universe, and World of Warcraft.

Minecraft allows players to craft their own armor out of a variety of material, including leather, iron, and diamond gems.
