Armour

Armour is used to keep the wearer safe when attacked by increasing their Defense characteristic. A fighter may be equipped with one suit of armour, and may carry a shield instead of being equipped with a second melee weapon.

Wizards and armour

A Wizard may never be equipped with armour as wearing metal interferes with their ability to manipulate the Winds of Magic.
