In some role playing games , armor class abbreviated AC is a derived statistic that indicates how difficult it is to land a successful blow on a character with an attack. It represents either a character s protective equipment, ability to dodge attacks, or a combination of the two. In earlier versions of Dungeons & Dragons , a lower AC indicated that a creature was more difficult to hit. An unarmored human had an AC of 10, and armor lowered a character s armor class. Powerful creatures would usually have an armor class lower than 0. In Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, a character or monster s ability to strike successfully was indicated by its THAC0, the minimum roll needed on a 20 sided die To Hit Armor Class 0 . The die roll needed to hit other armor classes could be computed by subtracting the armor class from the THAC0. The lower one s THAC0, the more likely a hit would be successful. This system replaced combat tables in the 2nd edition of AD&D , but was officially abandoned in the 3rd edition of D&D 2000 . In third edition D&D , the armor class system was effectively reversed. An unarmored human still had an AC of 10, but wearing additional armor and or wielding a shield increased armor class. Thus, a creature with an AC of 0 in second edition would have an armor class of 20 in third edition, and vice versa. This system persists into the fourth edition rules. A wide range of factors affects armor class in both systems, including a character s dexterity , use of various combat techniques such as forms of parrying , and the quality and material composition of the armor worn. The concepts of armor class and hit points originated in a set of American Civil War naval rules. Dungeons & Dragons co creator Dave Arneson adopted the concepts in miniatures games that he ran shortly before the first edition of D&D was written. ref name GameSpy.com 2002 cite web url http archive.gamespy.com ... s use a similar armor class system.

The front plate was intended to break up an incoming shell, while the rear plate would catch any splinters and hold the armor together if the brittle front plate shattered.

Typically, the main armor belt covered the warship from its main deck down to some distance below the waterline . If the armor belt was built within the hull, rather than forming the outer hull, it would be installed at an inclined angle to improve the warship s protection.

Frequently, the main belt s armor plates were supplemented with a torpedo bulkhead spaced several meters behind the main belt, designed to maintain the ship s watertight integrity even if the main belt was penetrated.
