Armor (Elden Ring Supplement)

Armor Overview

The Elden Ring Setting handles armor similar to the Partial Armor system. A creature's base AC is 10 + their Dexterity modifier. A creature may wear one of each armor field: one helm, one pair of gauntlets, one leg armor, and one chest armor. If a creature is wearing any armor with the heavy property, they may not add their Dexterity modifier to their AC. There are five damage types: physical, magic, fire, lightning, and holy. Physical damage encompasses bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. Magic damage comes from sorceries and spells which inflict magic damage, and come either as fire, lightning, or holy damage. Some armor sets provide specific resistances and debuffs to specific damage types, recorded as follows in the absorptions section in the table below.
