Style and Armor

One of the quirks of the CEV 'Eris' is the style system. This system allows player to have more freedom in clothing options by introducing the ability to dodge incoming shots - if you are cool enough.
As a general rule clean, unarmored clothing is stylish while clothing that provides some form of protection is not.
Where do I get Style?
The best way to gain style is by wearing an article of clothing in every slot possible - glasses, hats, jackets and the like. Every piece of clothing has a style value between +2 (very stylish) and -2 (very unstylish). The amount of style that an article of clothing gives can be modified by whether it is stained by liquids (ie blood and oil).
Stylish clothes can be gained by finding them in various trash piles, taking them as part of the round start loadout or by purchasing them from certain vendors.
What does Style do?
Style operates differently from armor. Rather than reducing incoming damage as armor does, style allows the user to attempt to negate an entire attack by dodging.
When a character is stylish they generate slickness, up to a cap defined by the amount of style the character has. Slickness can be used to dodge projectiles and ride explosions. Doing so reduces slickness, until the user is no longer able to keep avoiding damage.
In addition to passively regenerating slickness from style, character can gain slickness by doing certain actions and lose slickness by other actions. Each action generates/removes 10% of the character's slickness.
| Slick | Unslick |
|---|---|
| Smoking | Puking |
| Suplexing | Slipping |
| Dropkicking | Holstering a knife from a boot |
| Being on fire | Being disarmed |
| Reloading a Revolver/Double Barrel | Resetting a table |
| Removing a knife from a boot | Being thrown on a table |
| Spinning a held item | |
| Disarming an opponent | |
| Flipping a table | |
| Throwing a target on a table |

Countering Style-based defense
A player with high style isn't invincible. Style can be worn down or even bypassed with the right tools.
