Degrading Armor

This is an alternate rule for degrading armor, as compared to the Ablative Armor proposed in the Mothership Warden's Operations Manual (WOM). A fresh set of Armor works as normal, it offers protection up to the Armor Points (AP) of the armor, after accounting for Damage Reduction (DR). However, with Degrading Armor, the armor loses AP equal to the damage that would be taken. For example, if you're wearing armor with an AP of 7 and take 5 Damage, the armor now has an AP of 2. These rules do not effect the Damage Reduction (DR) of applicable armor. Repairing armor is detailed further as a possible downtime action in Streamlined Downtime.
