Defence
Defence
Nobody plans to come into contact with the weapons of the enemy. But
every smart person plans for it. - Galfog, gnome mercenary.
The defence domain contains skills items and conditions that defend you
from attack from different characters. The most common examples are
armours and skills that give you extra HP or that negate effects.

Armour
Armour
Most characters faced with combat will wear some sort of armour. Each
armour item starts with 3 counters on it. These represent the integrity
of the armour. Every time you become injured (0 HP or lower), the
armour is damaged and you must remove one counter. When all the counters
are removed, the armour is damaged to such an extent that it no longer
gives you extra HP. During downtime, you can have your armour repaired
by paying the restore price. This restores all its 3 counters. You can
only equip one armour item at a time.

Shield
Shield
Shields come in different sizes and with a different toughness. Lastly,
superior shields make it easier to use shield skills.
A higher toughness defends against a break 1 effect the enemy
might call. But no shield made by mortal hands can withstand break
2 effects.
Note that unless otherwise mentioned, the arm and hand used to carry a
shield cannot be used to wield a weapon.
