Changes
In order for a character to be able to wear a trauma plate, they must be wearing a piece of clothing with the '''Plate carrier''' [[Effects|effect]]. The plate is then inserted into the plate carrier in order for it to provide additional protection.
== Function ==
The purpose of a trauma plate is to protect the user from [[Damage types|Bullet-type]] damage. They are '''useless''' against any other type of damage and will therefore not provide any additional protection if the user is hit by attacks dealing any other type of damage.
A trauma plate does not increase Armor Class and therefore doesn't actually reduce the amount of limb damage dealt by incoming bullets. Therefore, one should pair the highest possible AC with the best available plate, in order to ensure that as little damage as possible is dealt to the user; both for preserving the plate's HP and reducing the chances of a pass-through.
