Intro
Armours are listed in the category where the main AC is found. Many armours cover multiple areas, and will so exclude the use of other armours. For example some helmets cover neck as well as head, precluding you from wearing other neck armour. They are also listed by name, A to Z, but the tables are sortable by for example area AC, and also total AC. Default is ascending, so click 1 time for ascending, and 2 times for descending.
