Helmets
Full helmets have better protection than medium helmets, but when using range or magic it is more difficult when using a full helmet, because the characters view is obstructed.
Mage and Priest Robes
Mage robes offer no extra defence against ranged or melee combat, but do give an advantage to casting and defending against magic. Priest robes are exactly the same, but give a bonus to your prayer rather than magic.
Leather and Dragonhide
Leather tends to be weak, but can now be improved by studding the leather or hardening it. Leather is more resistant to crush attacks and weaker against stabbing attacks, and is the ranger's armor. The same applies for Dragonhide armor, although it is much stronger than basic leather. Due to the magic nature of dragons, it is very useful when fighting mages. However, this tends to interfere with the wearers ability to cast magic.
Chainmail
Chainmail is made up of small rings connected together. It is particularly useful for turning away slashing wepons and absorbing the impact of a crush attack. Chain is weak against stab and slash attacks simply because the blades can get through the rings. Chain is very flexible, so it doesn't have any disadvantages when ranging, although mages will have trouble casting spells in it.
Plate
Plate armor is much heavier and stronger than chain, although rangers and mages find it incredibly difficult to use in conjunction with firing arrows or spells. Plate armor is weakest against crushing damage as it cannot absorb the impact as well as it can slashing or stabbing attacks.
Shields
The two shield types are very similar, but have slight differences. Both are excellent defences against slashing attacks, but the kite shield is weak against stabbing attacks and the square shield is weak against crushing attacks.
