Armour and shields work together against physical monster attacks, with diminishing returns. Better armour reduces damage, but heavy blows can still hurt. Armour is a protection rating, not a fixed amount subtracted from every hit. Spells and player attacks use different protection rules.
Rare: never sold and never made. Found only on the hardest creatures.
