Each Character will be able to equip different pieces of armour. Armour items are divided by slots:

• Head
• Torso
• Legs
• Hands
• Feet

Each piece of armour will always belong to one of the following categories:

• Cloth Armour: Offers little protection and usually increases Stats that benefit units who use spells (Intellect, Mana, Magic Power, Healing Power, Magic Penetration).
• Leather Armour: Offers medium protection and will usually benefit nimble agility based physical damage dealers (Agility, Critical Chance, Speed).
• Mail: Offers more protection than leather armour but less than plate armour. Will tend to benefit strength damage dealers the most (Strength, Armour Penetration).
• Plate: Offers a high amount of protection and will generally increase the durability of a character wearing it (Armour, Magic Armour, Hit Points).

While these items are equipped, they will provide additional Stats for the character. While there is no obligation to do so, if all the armour equipped by a character belong to the same category, that characters highest Stat (between Hit Points, Strength, Agility and Intellect) is increased by a %. This should make for interesting gameplay moments where the player will measure pros and cons between equipping only one category of armour or equipping a stronger piece that belongs to a different category.

Armour can be obtained by clearing dungeon rooms or bought in shops and they must increase in power depending on what floor the player finds them..

I intend to use an algorithm to generate armor for the game.
