All Armor has at least an Endurance Attribute with Endurance Reserve as described in Attributes and Attribute Reserves

When a successful strike is made, and the Defender uses a screen or successfully parries with a weapon or shield, those absorb the damage rather than their armor.

If the screen, shield, or weapon parry fails, and the strike lands directly, the armor takes the incoming damage.

If the Armor possesses some form of Damage Resistance Special Effects (SFX) ability, then the Damage Resistance reduces the total damage taken from a strike before being applied to the armor's Endurance Reserves.

Remaining Damage accumulates against the armor Endurance Reserves and Endurance in the same manner as for an Adventurer.

For every 10 points of lost Endurance Reserve, the Armor's Endurance attribute falls by 1.

An attack has to beat a screen, weapon or shield parry, armor damage resistance, and the armor itself in order to hurt someone.

Any Damage points left after being deflected and absorbed by screens, shields, weapon parries, armor damage resistance, and the armor's damage absorption itself is then applied as damage to the Adventurer.

Successful Smithing (Armor) skill checks can craft armor pieces given materials, time, and tools.

Successful Smithing (Armor) skill checks can increase armor Endurance Reserves or add additional features given materials, time, and tools.

If the improvements require redesign or creating new designs, the Guide my ask for successful Ingenuity checks also.

Successful Smithing (Armor) skill checks can restore armor Endurance Reserves

Successful Smithing (Armor) skill checks can salvage usable parts and material from armor otherwise too damaged to be useful.
