	Armor is a lifesaver. Almost every soldier and adventurer uses it – if they can afford it. Masters of Raana features several different ~~armors~~, from extra-light, low-tech padded armor, to high-tech ~~Stealth~~ suits~~, to~~ the ~~almost-~~unobtainable, self-powered ~~and~~ environmentally ~~self-contained~~ H.U.L.C. suits.		Armor is a lifesaver. Almost every soldier and adventurer uses it – if they can afford it. Masters of Raana features several different types of armor, ranging from extra-light, low-tech padded armor to high-tech stealth suits and the nearly unobtainable, self-powered, environmentally sealed H.U.L.C. suits.

	~~Armors have~~ a unique value called '''[[Armors\|Soak]]'''. The Soak value automatically absorbs damage ~~that~~ you receive from an opponent. The ~~subtraction~~ is ~~easy -~~ a Heavy Leather Armor with Soak ~~Value~~ 14 ~~will reduce~~ the damage of every incoming hit by 14 points. Note ~~though~~ that some melee weapons and many ranged weapons have the "'''[[Weapons\|armor piercing]]'''" property, ~~and will~~ bypass ~~some~~ of ~~tis~~ Soak value - reducing it by ~~12-20~~%.		All armor has a unique value called '''[[Armors\|Soak]]'''. The Soak value automatically absorbs part of the damage you receive from an opponent. The reduction is straightforward: a Heavy Leather Armor with a Soak value of 14 lowers the damage of every incoming hit by 14 points. Note that some melee weapons and many ranged weapons have the '''[[Weapons\|armor piercing]]''' property, allowing them to bypass part of this Soak value, typically reducing it by 12–20%.

	Armors also have a '''[[Armors\|Condition]]''' value. If you receive damage that penetrates your armor, the armor has a 20% risk of getting its '''Soak''' value decreased by a small amount. Make sure you repair your armor at an Armor store before heading out on adventures! A broken armor (Soak reaches 0) will be permanently removed from your inventory.

Make sure you repair your armor at an Armor store before heading out on adventures! A broken armor (Soak reaches 0) will be permanently removed from your inventory.

	Armor is ~~great – but a~~ heavy armor ~~will make~~ you an easier target when ~~someone attacks you~~ with a melee ~~weapon~~. All armor ~~will decrease~~ the ~~wearer's~~ DEXTERITY ~~and his ability to dodge~~ incoming attacks.		Armor is powerful protection, yet heavy armor has drawbacks. Wearing heavier armor makes you an easier target when attacked with melee weapons. All armor reduces the wearer’s DEXTERITY which makes dodging incoming attacks more difficult.

	Fighting alone can be ~~tough~~, especially if several enemies attack you at once. In game, you can ~~build~~ a troop ~~consisting of a maximum~~ of five combatants, including yourself.

Fighting alone can be difficult, especially when several enemies attack you at once. In the game, you can assemble a troop of up to five combatants, including yourself. If you own [[NPC Status (detailed)#Slaves\|Slaves]], you can equip them for whichever combat style you want them to train in. If that is not enough, or if you prefer to keep your slaves safe at home, you can also hire [[NPC Status (detailed)#Mercenaries\|Mercenaries]] and add them to your force. Mercenaries require a one-time contract fee and a daily upkeep wage. These costs vary widely depending on equipment and skill, ranging from poorly equipped ruffians to near-invincible senior space marines.

Combatants (including enemies and the MC) with WILLPOWER below 5 (25 on [[Character Creation#Grimdark\|Grimdark]] difficulty) have a 10 percent chance of becoming [[Nervous]] in combat, which inflicts a −50 Chance penalty for one round, unless at least one of their [[Skills (NPCs)#Ranged Combat\|Ranged]] or [[Skills (NPCs)#Melee Combat\|Melee]] skills is 80 or higher.

	'''Power Strike + ~~[Fire At Enemy or~~ Strike Enemy]''' ~~= less~~ chance to hit but ~~more~~ damage, ~~and you don't lose~~ an action.		'''Power Strike + Strike Enemy''' — Lower chance to hit but higher damage, without losing an action.

	'''Charge''' ~~= move~~ to Close range (to ~~get higher~~ damage with ~~some~~ ranged weapons, or to ~~make~~ a ~~Melee~~ attack).		'''Charge''' — Move to Close range, either to increase damage with certain ranged weapons or to enable a melee attack.

You cannot make melee attacks from Distant range, although an enemy already in Close range can still strike you.
