Locations are at least half coverage of any two limbs, or or a helmet. For example Full plate could be a breastplate, two metal bracers (half your arms), and a helmet. Heavy armour gives you per-Encounter uses of RESIST that you can use to ignore the CRUSH part of a call. So an arrow to the chest would still cause you to take 3 points of damage, but not drop you.

For example, Sarah the Hegemony Soldier has Armour 3. In Heavy Armour she would gain 5 Hits for wearing her plate armour. She doesn’t want to wear full battle armour at an Interactive. She wears leather chest armour and bracers instead. As this only qualifies for Light Armour she only gains 3 Hits.
