Arbites Riot Armor

arBites riot armour The Arbites are often called to break up riots􀀎 Whatever the nature of the disturbance, whether it be a queue war involving disparate packs of petitioners outside Administratum scriptoria, or desperate food riots aimed at snatching resources from tithe shuttles, the Arbites will not falter before the mob􀀎 When facing large, ill disciplined multitudes armed with cobblestones, planks, or staves, the Arbites will attach panels of protective cushioned wadding over parts of their carapace armour to protect against impact damage􀀎 These pads are often brightly coloured, and are designed not only to protect the Arbitrator, but to signal to rioters that they are about to be routed􀀎 Riot armour is a simple, but encumbering, collection of cushioned pads that are attached to vulnerable parts of standard carapace armour when facing riots􀀎 They add 1 point of additional AP to all locations, but this additional 1 point of AP will only protect against Impact Damage􀀎 All other types of Damage bypass riot armour completely􀀎 The armour is unwieldy and encumbering, and reduces a character’s Agility by 10 points when worn􀀎
