Ablative armor consists of dozens or hundreds of small, square, ceramic-metallic plates. roughly 10 centimeters long on each side. When a projectile or explosion strikes a vehicle, some of the ablative plates blow off the vehicle and deflect part of the damaging energy of the attack. For each level of ablative armor added to a vehicle. Increase the vehicle's Armor Rating by a number of points equal to the ablative armor level x 2. The vehicle's Armor rating may be raised to a maximum equal to the vehicle's Body. If struck by a weapon that has a Power greater than 3 times the total modified Armor rating, reduce thr ablative armor level by 1 . Ablative armor is not hardened and does not stage down the damage code of attacks.
Ablative armor cannot be installed on aircraft and is not concealable. A vehicle with ablative armor is automatically considered security-grade.
