Armor (AV)

Your armor value (AV) is a measurement of how well protected you are against physical attacks that hit you. The higher your score, the less likely an opponent's attack will do severe damage to you. Most characters start with a base AV score of 0. — Ten Things You Should Do When You Start to Play

AV, or , is calculated by adding together all of the following values. bar.

• The AV value of all of the character's equipped armor and mutations (not counting shields).
• Additional AV from sources such as the Calloused skill, the density effect, or any inherent AV based on creature type.
