Armor runes in Pathfinder 2e are magical enhancements that can be applied to various types of armor to provide additional benefits and abilities. These runes are a key element in customizing and improving the effectiveness of armor for characters. There are four types of armor runes available in Pathfinder 2e, each offering different advantages. The first type is the resilient rune, which increases the armor's hit points and provides resistance against certain types of damage. This rune is ideal for characters who need extra durability and protection. The second type is the property rune, which grants the armor special abilities or effects.
The saints took on the characteristics of the Pagan deities with special days of the week, candles of a particular color, and rulership over certain problems and occupations. The belief in a saint's ability to intercede on the petitioner's behalf continues among many people to this day. Now you can find out how to use ancient techniques to call on the saints for help when you read The Magical Power of the Saints.
For example, you would call on Saint Benedict whose candle color is white and day of the week is Saturday to help end fevers, heal sick animals and more. Whether you want more peace, a new love, a better job, more money, or any of several dozen more goals, you can start by getting The Magical Power of the Saints.
The second type is the property rune, which grants the armor special abilities or effects. Examples include the slick property, which allows the wearer to move more easily through difficult terrain, or the shadow property, which grants invisibility in certain conditions. Property runes offer a wide range of options to suit different playstyles and character builds.

Next is the fundamental rune, which enhances the armor's basic functions. These runes can improve the armor's AC bonus, increase the maximum Dexterity bonus, or reduce the armor check penalty. Fundamental runes are essential for optimizing the defensive attributes of the armor. Finally, we have the Potency rune, which increases the armor's item bonus to AC. This rune is particularly useful for characters who rely heavily on their armor for defense. The potency rune can be upgraded to higher levels, providing greater bonuses as characters advance in levels. To apply a rune to armor, characters need to find a runestone of the desired type and level. These runestones can be discovered as treasure or purchased from magical item vendors. Once obtained, the character can use the Crafting skill to transfer the rune onto their armor. Armor runes in Pathfinder 2e offer a flexible and customizable way for characters to enhance their defensive capabilities. By carefully choosing and upgrading runes, players can tailor their armor to match their character's unique strengths and playstyles. Whether it's increased durability, special abilities, or improved defensive bonuses, armor runes provide a wealth of options to optimize and personalize character builds..

The mechanics behind them are convoluted and hard to understand, making it frustrating to even try incorporating them into gameplay. Additionally, the variety of runes feels lackluster and uninspiring. I would have preferred a simpler and more streamlined system for enhancing armor in the game.
