Degrading Armor

This is an alternate rule for degrading armor compared to the house rule proposed in the Mothership Warden's Operations Manual (WOM). A fresh set of Armor works just like the base game, it offers protection up to the Armor Points (AP) for the armor after accounting for Damage Reduction (DR). However, the Armor loses the damage taken, so if you're wearing Armor with an AP of 7 and take 5 Damage, the Armor now has an AP of 2. These armor degradation rules do not effect the Damage Reduction (DR) of applicable armor. Repairing armor is detailed further as a possible downtime action in Streamlined Downtime.
