Armor (5e fallout Campaign Setting)
Armor Overview
Unlike traditional Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition, armor class is handled in a piecemeal system similar to Partial Armor (5e Variant Rule). Your base AC is 10 + your Dexterity modifier. This can be increased by wearing the armor listed below. You can either wear one of each piece of armor or an undersuit and an oversuit. There are 4 damage types: Ballistic damage is that sourced from bullets and is dealt by weapons listed under ballistics. Energy damage is sourced from beams of super-heated plasma and lasers. Explosive damage is dealt by fragmentation devices and fire. Melee damage comes from Fists, knives, and other weapons that lack range. Armors typically only effect one or two damage type, causing attacks that deal other damage types to ignore its AC benefit.
Additional Properties
- Headlamp (x feet): When activated as a bonus action, sheds bright light for x feet and dim light for another x feet.
