Body Armour
Body Armour is protective clothing for a person’s body designed to absorb or deflect attacks. Body armour is used to protect military personnel, law enforcement, security guards, bodyguards—and occasionally—civilians. There are two main types of body armour:
- Non-plated body armour for moderate to substantial protection, and
- Hard-plate reinforced body armour for maximum protection.
Body armour generally uses metal or ceramic plates to provide additional protection from kinetic and energy projectiles. Metallic components or tightly woven fibre layers can also provide resistance to stabbing and slashing attacks.[1]
Important
Body armour does not provide any protection from attacks. It’s only purpose is to add to your character’s identity.
