Armor

Stuff you wear to reduce certain kinds of damage. Under each type of damage are two numbers, separated by a slash. The first is the Damage Threshold (DT), the second is the Damage Resistance (DR) in percent.
Example: You're wearing Leather Armor and you get hit for 6 normal points of damage. The armor stops 2 points from the DT and another 1 from the DR (25% of the remaining 4), so you only lose 3 points of HP.
