"My daggers bounced off that plate mail! What now?" -- Basler

This encounter includes something important that is heavily defended. This could mean body armor of leather or metal, hardened barriers of stone, or wood, a protective aura of magic, a divine blessing, and more.

• Ignore harm from inadequate attacks
• Destroy weaker things that strike it or are struck by it
• Stand in defense of allies

"You know what metal does? Heats up. Fireball!" -- Tana

Every armor has a weakness or comes at a cost, like making someone slower or something heavier. Not every armor's weakness is obvious, and finding it may be difficult.

• Those protected have limited mobility and senses
• Weakness to specific damage types, e.g. lightning
• Useless if penetrated or lost
