Hi, everyone.

Just wondering, does anybody know what mechanics govern the damage that weapons, armour, and clothing take in combat?
Specifically, is it possible to make an extremely protective and/or lethal material that also breaks easily?

Toying with the idea of ablative armour, but DF material interactions are a little too complicated for my tiny mind.

From my limited experiments while making my cloth armor mod, it seems that the same things that make a material good at being armor also make it less likely to incur damage. If I had to guess it, then I would say it has to do with all of the "fracture" tokens in the material RAWs; such as [IMPACT_FRACTURE].
