Editing Armor (section)

== Armor in Fiction ==

Armors and material personal defense surprisingly does not deviate too much from the real world, i.e you have your pick of materials which are more or less exotic which may then be additionally augmented with magic, psyonics and other esoteric forces. One notable exception to the above is the so-called ''chitin'' armor which is basically armor made out of bug shells and parts, which depending on the hardiness of the buggo may offer a decent amount of protection, usually between chainmail and plate. Another even more esoteric variant is magical or energy armor - such as Dune's body-shields or conjured pieces of armor, both of these often feature hardiness that is more or less correlated to the amount of power that is needed to activate and maintain them.
