• Hardened armour provides an additional layer of protection against attacks
• It affects attacks in two ways depending on the DV:
• If the modified DV < (hardened armour rating - AP) then the attack does no damage
• If modified DV > (hardened armour rating - AP) then a damage resistance test is made as normal
• In addition, half of the hardened armour rating (modified by AP, round up) counts as automatic extra hits on this test
