Armor Mechanic

Armor in Remixed Dungeon provides protection by reducing damage from physical attacks. Each piece of armor has a defense rating that contributes to the hero's overall survivability.

• Defense Rating (DR): How much damage is reduced from incoming attacks
• Durability: How much damage the armor can take before breaking
• Level/Upgrades: Armor can be upgraded to improve its defense rating
• Speed Penalty: Heavier armor may slow hero movement
• Stealth Penalty: Heavier armor may reduce stealth effectiveness
• Required Strength: Minimum strength needed to wear armor without penalties (calculated by requiredSTR() method)

• Cloth Armor - Lightest armor with minimal protection
• Leather Armor - Balanced protection and mobility
• Mail Armor - Good protection with moderate penalties
• Plate Armor - Maximum protection with significant penalties
• Class Armor - Special armor for each hero class

• Absorption: Armor absorbs a percentage of incoming physical damage
• Durability: All armor takes damage when absorbing hits and can break if not maintained
• Identification: Most armor must be identified to show full stats
• Upgrading: Armor can be upgraded using Scroll of Upgrade or similar items
• Glyphping: Armor can be enchanted with Glyphs to gain special properties
• Defense Calculation: Effective defense is calculated in effectiveDr() method: tier * 2 + level() * tier + (glyph != null ? tier : 0)
• Strength Requirement: Calculated in requiredSTR() method: Math.max(typicalSTR() - level(),2)
• Typical Defense: typicalDR() method returns tier * 2
• Typical Strength: typicalSTR() method returns 7 + tier * 2

• Class-specific armor - Unique armor for each hero class with special abilities
• Glyphs - Magical properties that can be added to armor
• Upgrades - Increasing armor effectiveness through scrolls and other means
