Special body armors include: the '''Armor of Great HealthBody armor''' which raises is a piece of [[armor]] that covers the torso of the [[player]]. It is one of the most important pieces of armor, as most of the enemy attacks will end up damaging your endurance and likely attracts stronger monsters,torso.  == Types of Body Armor == === Chain Mail ===  (''LIVAN'Chain mail''') is the lighter, more flexible armor. With comparable [[materials]], it will have slightly lower AV than plate mail, but will also weight less and have lesser penalties to [[Dex]] and [[Agi]]. However, as chain mail only generates made of metals, you can frequently find much lighter "plate mail" made of flexible materials such as [[leather]] - though the AV of such light armor will be very low. === Plate Mail === '''Dragon CuirassPlate mail''' which can actually either be called "plate mail" if made of any metal, or simply "armor" if made of a different material (eg. "leather armor" is still "plate mail" type armor). Plate mail is essentially a thickerstronger, heavier and stronger body less flexible than chain mail, giving it higher AV but also higher penalties to [[Dex]] and [[Agi]]. Plate mails made of metal will have very high AV, but will probably burden any character without massive [[LStr]]. On the other hand, plate mails are also frequently found made of light flexible materials and such armors will be even lighter than chain mails, though their AV will be also considerably lower than of any metal armor. However, if you can obtain a plate mail made of one of the better flexible materials (eg. [[Angel Hair]] or [[Spider Silk]]), those have the best qualities of any normal armor found in the game - they have high AV, low weight and next to no [[attribute]] penalties. == Magical Body Armor == * [[Armor of Great Health]]* [[Shirt with spiked shouldersa Decos Bananas Co. ad]] === Artifact Body Armor === * [[Filthy tunic of martyr Bessica]] grants Disease Immunity, Fasting and Fearless [[status effect]]s. * [[Ommel bristler armor]] has high AV 18 and is completely indestructible.* [[Shirt of the Golden Eagle]] has one of the highest AV available in its unaltered formthe game,plus is required for one of the [[quests]]. == Variants == === CLIVAN === The [[CLIVAN]] [[variant]] of the game adds several new body armors: * the '''Shirt of the Golden Eagle[[Dragon Cuirass]]''' , which is obtained by defeating Oree the Blood Daemon King.
