Boiler plate is the armor of the desperate, comprising of heavy iron plates strapped to vital areas. It’s crude, uncomfortable, and marks you as someone who expects to be shot. But when that first bullet comes, you’ll be glad you wore it.
Properties
Effects this armor carries while worn.
Hardened
Effect: Negates the first Grievous Wound of the scene (damage still applies).
Hardened armor is built to absorb a single catastrophic impact before buckling: overlapping plates, reinforced cores, sacrificial layers. The damage from the Grievous Wound still happens; the wound itself does not. Once the protection is spent, the armor reverts to its normal AR for the remainder of the scene.
