Masterwork:Armor

MDF: v1.31

The Masterwork mod provides many new types of armor along with making some minor changes to the vanilla DF armors. As none of the rules pertaining to armor have changed, this article will only focus on providing the statistics for the armor items included with Masterwork.

Types of Protection

The number of regular metal bars needed to make a piece of metal armor is equal to the material size divided by 3, rounded down with a minimum of one. The number of adamantine wafers or stacks of cloth required to create armor is equal to the material size.
