The standard HERO System rules for handling Armor are adequate, but the following system extends them a bit and is in use in my High Fantasy campaigns.
  • ARMOR CATEGORIES: This document presents the categories of armor assumed to be enforced by this system and associated penalties and proficiencies.
  • ARMOR TYPES: This document presents the types of armor assumed to be enforced by this system, and provides a default Armor List.
  • SHIELDS: The standard Multipower based rules on pg 199 of Fantasy HERO apply to Shields.
