Armor

For the spell, see Armor (spell).

Armor is a mechanic in Shadowrun.

Overview

 * The maximum amount of armor without spells or cyberware is 10.
 * Outfits are the primary means of obtaining better armor. There are Spells that can increase armor or reduce it by a fixed amount (Leylines only increase duration). Cyberware can also increase armor.
 * In Shadowrun Returns it makes characters harder to hit, but does not reduce damage.
 * From Shadowrun: Dragonfall to Shadowrun: Hong Kong it reduces damage taken by a character at a rate of 1 per unit of armor.
