Guide to Defense  (WIP)
To be good at combat, you must be able to survive an encounter with anything; Nuclear Operatives, Wizards, Assistants and such.  While some may say that the best defense is a robust offense (which can be true in some cases), knowing how to protect yourself is a vital skill needed to be [[robust]].

Armor is a great passive way to keep you from getting hurt too badly in a fight.  Some jobs will have difficulty acquiring armor.  Some armor, like hardsuits, will slow you, as well.

Armor will reduce all damage of a certain type, on parts of your body that are protected by the Armour. You will see ''"Your armor has protected your X."'' when your armor blocks damage. ''"Your armor absorbs the blow!"'' appears to also indicate full protection. The defense values are indicated by an Armour's percent protection from different damage types, for example basic Armour has a Melee protection rate of 50, as such it will always block 50% of all melee damage to the chest.

Armor only protects the region that it covers on your body. No armor protects your entire body.
