Properties

Hover or tap any of these for what it means.

• armorWorn protection. Sets or contributes to your armor class.
• modularBuilt to be reconfigured. Plates, pouches and inserts come off and go back on.

A full ballistic rig: aramid weave over ceramic across the chest, the back and both flanks, with a collar and a groin apron that most wearers take off within a week. It grants a +1 bonus to Armor Class beyond the ordinary pattern. Panels laid up individually, and the weave tensioned by hand so it sets true.

Rules

• Always on

  • AC 16 + DEX (max 2)

• An armor piece changes no Armor Class on its own; the body armor is what sets it. Wearing the Ballistic Body Armor together with its head, hands, legs and feet pieces grants a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
