Armor is loosely defined as anything worn by a mob on a position other than WIELD and HELD (and sometimes in those positions!) There are a variety of subtypes of armor. Besides the standard items, the following Generic armors exist:

• GenArmor
• GenEarring
• GenLimb
• GenShield

GenArmor

GenArmor is anything that is worn by a MOB or player as a type of clothing or protection. Clothing, Jewelry and Armor of all varieties fall within this category of item types. GenArmor does not HAVE to provide protective value (such as a blanket worn about the Body, or a necklace).

Armor fields

• Armor with protective values (non-zero values) should NOT have the multiwear flag set. Otherwise players will find a way to wear a bunch of these things to get to incredible armor values.

Special Armor types

• Bandoliers should be worn about the body, layer 2 (or higher), see-through, contents accessible, 50 lbs of capacity, and generally carry any contents.
