These modifiers may be applied to any type armor as appropriate. See the description of the specific armor types below for specific modifiers.

General Modifiers
Type Bonus/Penalty Example/Notes
Inferior Construction Up to two points can be deducted for armor that is substantially less protective or durable than standard construction techniques. shoddy workmanship, larger ring diameter, lighter gauge, etc.
Non-Standard Metal One point is deducted for metal armor that is less protective or lighter than steel. titanium, bronze, etc. Metal which is both less protective and lighter has one point deducted for each.
Inferior Appearance Up to two points can be deducted for inferior appearance, unrelated to the construction techniques used. This does not apply if the armor is intentionally made to look shoddy for an in-game purpose, such as monster/barbarian armor. Armor may receive this penalty regardless of construction quality. obviously unfinished armor, visible inauthentic materials, or tarnished/poorly maintained armor.
Superior Construction Up to one point may be awarded for armor that substantially exceeds the defensive properties of the standard materials or uses superior construction techniques such as fluting, heavier thickness/gauge materials, hardening, smaller ring diameter, etc. May not be awarded in combination with the same specific armor type modifier. A +1 cannot be awarded twice for fluting on Articulated Plate.
Superior Appearance Up to one point may be awarded for exceptional appearance unrelated to the construction techniques used. Armor receiving a modifier for Inferior Construction is not eligible for this bonus. Examples include extensive and well-done tooling of leather, appealing addition of studs and/or rings, etching of metal, gilding, blueing, etc.
Light Helms Up to one point may be awarded to the worn torso armor for wearing a helm on the head. arming cap, coif, etc.)
Heavy Helm Up to one point may be awarded to the worn torso armor for wearing a helm on the head. The torso armor bonus received from a Heavy Helm may allow the wearer to exceed the maximum value for the armor type. Spangenhelm, Crusader Helm
