Armor & Shields

The level of technology and innovation in the Jujutsu Kaisen world varies is the same as the one in the real world at around 2017. So actual armor is not easily found.

Many sorcerers and curse users will wear armor and gear that makes combating curses easier, though some may opt to wear heavy armor to help them last in battle. Metallic Heavy armor takes a lot of upkeep hinders mobility, and should not be preferred when used in public. Therefore, you must find vendors who will sell effective equipment that works for a life of sorcery. It is up to each character and their class to decide what armor is worth using.

The Armor table shows the cost, weight, and other properties of the common types of armor worn in the world of One Piece.

Armor Proficiency. Anyone can put on a suit of armor or strap a Shield to an arm. Only those proficient in the armor’s use know how to wear it effectively, however. Your class gives you proficiency with certain types of armor. If you wear armor that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or Attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you can’t cast Spells.

Stealth. If the Armor table shows Disadvantage, the wearer has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

Shields. Many warrior-type pirates supplement their armor with a Shield. A Shield is made from wood or metal and is carried in one hand. Wielding a Shield increases your Armor Class by 2. You can benefit from only one Shield at a time.

Light Armor
Made from light materials and fabrics, light armor provides a solid balance of mobility and protection for the mobile and stealthy types. If you wear light armor, you add your Dexterity modifier to the base number from your armor type to determine your Armor Class.

Dense Coat. This type of coat is made from durable fabrics and materials that provide basic protection.

Thick Shirt. Thicker shirts consist of high-quality quilted cloth or leather that don’t hinder flexibility.

Light Bulletproof Shirt. An undershirt consisting of durable synthetic fibers that provides noticeable protection against bullets and other weapons.

Medium Armor
Medium armor is similar to light armor, but sacrifices mobility in exchange for greater protection through its thicker fabrics and materials. If you wear medium armor, you add your Dexterity modifier, to a maximum of +2, to the base number from your armor type to determine your Armor Class.

Hide. This crude armor is made from various thick beast skins and pelts. Tribal groups, evil humanoids, and savages often wear this type of material for protection.

Bulletproof Jacket. A protective jacket consisting of durable synthetic fibers that provides decent protection against bullets and other weapons without making too much noise.

Bulletproof Suit. This armor consists of fully bulletproof materials made from durable synthetic fibers. Your vital organs are completely protected by this suit, though your legs and arms are left partially uncovered.

Heavy Armor
Although not always preferred for sorcery, heavy armor can provide the greatest protection out of any type of armor. It is worn by those who possess great strength and juggernaut capabilities.
Heavy armor doesn’t let you add your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class, but it also doesn’t penalize you if your Dexterity modifier is negative.

Ring Mail. This armor is leather armor with heavy rings sewn into it. The rings help reinforce the armor against blows from swords and axes. Ring mail is inferior to chain mail, and it’s usually worn only by those who can’t afford better armor.

Chain Mail. Made of interlocking metal rings, chain mail includes a layer of quilted fabric worn underneath the mail to prevent chafing and cushion the impact of blows. The suit includes gauntlets.

Plate Armor. Consists of shaped, interlocking steel plates to cover the entire body. A suit of plate includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, giant shoulder plates, and thick layers of padding underneath the armor. Sometimes it comes with a coating.
