The Armor attribute on items provides a numerical value that when equipped contributes to the characters Armor Rating. This attribute can be found on Armor items requiring the Light, Medium, Heavy, Adaptive and Droid Armor proficiency. It should not be confused with the Rating value on Armor items, which reflects the items level. The Armor value on items will vary depending on the slot where the item is equip-able and on the type of Armor proficiency it requires.
