Armor, along with Weapons, increase the durability and combat finesse of your Townsfolk. Crafting of finding armor in the dungeon becomes more and more important the lower you mine.
Armor is stored inside armor cabinets or on an armor stockpile, and can be equipped by right-clicking on Townsfolk and following the equip menu.
Armor statistics, like weapon statistics, are decided by die roll, meaning there is a level of randomness to it - a high roll on defense of a Wooden Armor (1d89+255, high being 344) could beat a low roll on defense of a Bone Armor (1d119+340, a low roll being 1+340, or 341). For more information on die rolls, please see the relevant article.
There are also special types of armor which has effects imbued into it.
