Rules

Always on
- AC 15 + DEX (max 2)
An armor piece changes no Armor Class on its own; the body armor is what sets it. Wearing the ESC Combat Vest together with its head, hands, legs and feet pieces grants a +1 bonus to Armor Class.

Grades

The same object, worked to a better standard. The grade is the rung; the bonus is what the rung is worth at the table.

Equipment Line

The same kit across the tiers. Later rungs replace earlier ones.

Armor Set

Worn together, not one after the other. The four pieces with their body armor grant a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
