Cast versus Armor
Jump to navigation

Cast versus Armor, or CvA is a term that applies to warding-based attack spells. Heavier armor types are harder to penetrate, even with magic, as reflected by this value. Magical or enchanted armors protect the wearer better than non-magical or non-enchanted armors, and this differential also increases with the heavier types of armor.
These numbers apply directly to the warding roll.
