== Armor Mechanics in the Renaissance Era ==
'''Armor in Ultima Online: Renaissance''' mitigates incoming physical melee and ranged damage. Total defensive capability is determined by your overall Armor Rating (AR), coverage location, and whether your gear allows [[Meditation]].

=== Body Coverage Distribution ===
When a physical strike connects, the game engine rolls a location hit check according to the following canonical distribution:
* '''Chest / Torso''': 35% chance to be struck (provides the largest share of total AR).
* '''Legs''': 22% chance to be struck.
* '''Arms''': 14% chance to be struck.
* '''Head / Helm''': 14% chance to be struck.
* '''Neck (Gorget)''': 7% chance to be struck.
* '''Hands (Gloves)''': 7% chance to be struck.

=== Meditation & Dexterity Penalties ===
* '''Mage Armor (Meditatable)''': Regular [[Leather]] and bone/cloth items do not hinder active or passive [[Meditation]]. Mages rely on leather suits to maintain mana regeneration.
* '''Non-Meditatable Armor''': Studded leather, ringmail, chainmail, and platemail disrupt active mana regeneration unless crafted from special materials.
* '''Dexterity Loss''': Heavier metallic armor subtracts directly from your Dexterity attribute, reducing stamina and swing speed.

== Armor Sets & Ratings ==

''Note: Exceptional quality crafted by a Grandmaster smith or tailor adds a significant AR bonus (+20% baseline) plus defensive durability.''

== Shields & Parrying ==
Carrying a shield equips your character for [[Parrying]], rolling an active block chance whenever attacked in melee combat. Successful blocks absorb physical damage before it touches body armor.
