	'''Cast versus Armor''' (CvA) is a factor in [[warding]] attack spells that reflects how well [[armor]] protects against magic. Lower CvA means the armor is more protective. Heavier armor types are harder to penetrate. Magical or [[Enchant Item (925)\|enchanted]] armors protect the wearer better than non-magical or non-[[Enchant Item (925)\|enchanted]] armors, and this differential also increases with the heavier types of armor.

	These numbers apply directly to the warding roll. In practice, wearing heavier and magical armor is equivalent to having a higher [[target defense]] for any target.

	Per GM Cyper's post introducing CvA, use of a non-magical shield will provide -5 CvA, and a magical shield -10 CvA, which is not cumulative with armor. Functionally, this means that shields only provide a CvA benefit when Armor Group 1/clothing is worn.
