< Mod / Oblivion: Oblivion Mod: Modding

The armor dialog is used for editing pieces of armor, essentially pieces of clothing that provide some protection to the wearer in combat.

Interface DescriptionEdit

Element Description
FormID Unique formid of the armor.
EditorID Unique editor ID of the armor.
Name Full name of the armor as seen in world and the player's inventory.
Type The type of armor, light or heavy. This is used to check the appropriate skill when worn.
Enchantment An optional self-only enchantment.
Script An optional object script attached to the armor.
Biped Parts Lists the body parts that are covered by the armor piece.
Health The maximum health of the armor piece. As the armor is used in combat its health will slowly degrade to 0. As its health decreases so will its armor rating. Once it reaches 0 the armor is considered broken and is unusable. Repairing can restore some, all, or even exceed the original health of an armor piece.
Armor The base armor rating of the piece with larger values indicating more protection.


The overall armor rating is the sum of all armor the person is wearing. Damage dealt to the person is reduced by this overall rating. For example, an armor rating of 21 reduces the incoming damage by 21%.
