FullPlate

A full suit of Plate Armor, an example of Calradian armor.

Armor is any item worn to protect the wearer from damage.

In Mount&Blade, armor is worn on four areas, the pieces combine to protect three regions: head, body, and legs. Shields are technically a type of armor, but are sold alongside weapons in the marketplace.

Body Armor[]

Body armor carries the largest armor rating per piece, it is important for archers as they are vulnerable to all attacks while attempting to shoot. Some body armors also have leg armor to help mounted units.

Shields[]

Shields provide only damage reduction while blocking. When held in the hand or worn on the back, however, they can passively prevent a missile from inflicting damage if it hits the shield.

Horse Armor[]

Horse armor is not sold separately from a horse. More heavily-armored horses are able to withstand a lot more damage. However, the trade off for more armor is less speed.

For example, Coursers, the fastest horses available, are much less armored than Chargers, which move much more slowly. When taking damage, the Courser takes a lot more damage than the Charger, and consequently, Courser riders are more frequently unhorsed than Charger riders.

Arena and Training[]

Arena and Training equipment is special sets of armor that are only used during Tournaments and while training.

Encumbrance[]

The more a piece of armor weighs, the higher the player's encumbrance becomes, which in turn decreases movement speed for the party on the overland map and for the player in battle - the Athletics skill counters this issue by increasing the player's speed in both cases. Nord Huscarls are renowned for their high Athletics.

Armor Modifiers[]

Armour

Demonstration of how modifiers have a huge effect on the same item.

Each piece of armor has several possible modifiers. Not all modifiers are available for every item as they only apply for appropriate materials (you couldn't have a cracked shirt, for example). Modifiers either increase or decrease the item's stats. They also drastically change the value of the item, despite only making a maximum difference of 10 between the worst and best modified feature. Items obtained through the cheat menu cannot have modifiers.
