Character with armor or side bar

Hi there is a armor feature that is built into the game but no extra bar. If you have the source you could add it yourself. There is a great tutorial created by one of the users that does just that. I think you may be able to get the required effect by just playing around with the Armor feature. Just open your characters move window and head down to the move you would like to add the Armor option to...once you're in the move you can just select the Armor option and play around with it a bit until you achieve the required effect.
