===== Properties of Armor =====
Armor has all the properties of Things, although it may have additional properties from Extensions:
  - __**[[extensions:people:hit-locations|Hit Locations]] [Extension]:**__ Numerical indicators of what part or parts of an Actor the Armor protects.
  - __**[[..:capabilities:damage-type|Damage Types]] [Extension]:**__ Adds a separate Damage Type stat block that provides different armor protection vs. specific types of damage (Slashing, Crushing, Piercing, Cold, Heat, etc.)
  - __**[[extensions:things:armor:piecemeal|Piecemeal Armor]] [Extension]:**__ Creates the possibility of having different types of armor on each of an Actor's Hit Locations.
