Could someone explain what effect armor has in combat or damage taken? I have the entire system down except for this one thing, looked everywhere for an answer

Note that it only subtracts from damage if the fiction allows for it — I would say absolutely mitigates a sword’s damage, but may or may not help out with a magic spell depending on how and what its cast at.
Thanks a lot!
Keller Giacomarro Thank you
It will absolutely work against a magic spell, unless that spell has the Ignores Armor tag. That’s what the tag is for!
Yes, and if it doesn’t have the tag, it necessarily doesn’t ignore armour. Wizard and Cleric spells are designed to be mostly balanced; they don’t get to start automatically ignoring armour just because they’re spells, is what I’m saying.
