Plot Armor	comment	Lucky Bob! He's The Protagonist of a story, The Hero whose predestined role is to oppose — maybe even defeat — the villain. He's essential to the plot, which means it is assumed he will progress through the story until at least the final confrontation. But Bob will need to have some challenges to reach this encounter with destiny, so the author has to throw dangers in his way. Tension with these challenges are in conflict with the Foregone Conclusion that he will survive, a good author can keep it from being obvious that the orc he meets on page 56 can't possibly stop Bob — not if he's going to meet Fing the Fuming on page 237. A seriously good author can make it seem like Bob is the Decoy Protagonist or another character that dies, set them up for death and have them escape in truly dramatic manner. But in less skilled hands, Bob's invincibility up to page 236 becomes obvious as every mook he shoots go down in one hit while they either constantly miss him or he is able to shrug off identical strikes. He doesn't have talent or luck; he has a suit of divine armor which miraculously protects him from all lasting harm (until the plot calls for it). Even psychological trauma can be held at bay by Bob's Plot Armor. Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person (or one of several) who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, In-Universe explanation.note A typical explanation is that Bob survived through sheer luck on the basis of the Anthropic Principle. If only one person is going to survive the story, that person has to be Bob for there to be a story. The problem is that these instances of "sheer luck" happen all the time with Bob or only when it would benefit Bob. Bear in mind that having Plot Armor is not the same as being Nigh-Invulnerable. When Superman takes a bullet to the eye and survives, that's his superhuman nature — there's an explanation, albeit a fantastic one, for how he comes out unharmed. When Indiana Jones survives the same thing, that's Plot Armor — the only explanation for his survival is that it's only halfway through the movie and you know he can't die yet. (Bonus points if he isn't even blinded.) The downside to all this, of course, is that when it is Bob's time to die, nothing can save him. And his inability to prevent his own death may seem just as illogical as his ability to avoid it was forty pages ago, but alas, the plot gods giveth and the plot gods taketh away... Typically absent in episodes involving an Expendable Alternate Universe, Time Travel, or any other guaranteed-Reset Button situation. It is suspended when the Hero Killer is present and it is the main reason the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy is still in business (along with a handful of other tropes). Sub Tropes of this include: Distress Ball: A character's level of danger increases, but his odds of surviving it increase even more, to get him to the scripted rescue or resolution. Immune to Slapstick: A character who is never the target of physical comedy. Iron Butt Monkey: A character who can take (and survive) all manner of abuse just because it's funny. Joker Immunity: Plot-mandated protection given to a particularly series-defining recurring villain. Contractual Boss Immunity: Video game mechanics won't allow the player to ease a Climax Boss with particularly devastating abilities. Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: Hitler has unbreakable Plot Armor, to the point where any timey-wimey attempt to assassinate him will either fail or make things even worse. (If this features in the story, ensure there is a good reason for it.) Invincible Villain: When the Plot Armor gets so thick that the villain never loses as a result. Made of Iron: Enemy attacks are effective, but not quite as much as you'd expect. note Made of Iron should not be confused with Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke. The latter involves the weapon being underwhelming, yet still powerful; the former involves the target being unusually sturdy, but not quite Nigh-Invulnerable. Made of Iron counts as a subtrope of Plot Armor, while Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke doesn't. Monster Threat Expiration: The villain's Plot Armor degrades over time, and/or the hero's or group of heroes' Plot Armor becomes more prominent against them. Near Misses: Peak tension is achieved by the heroes almost getting hit by a projectile. Opening a Can of Clones: Appears to remove Plot Armor but actually expands it by giving Bob any number of disposable decoy bodyguards. Story-Driven Invulnerability: A video game boss can only be killed when the story allows it. Saved by Canon: A character who is alive at the beginning of one work obviously has to survive any works which are set earlier. Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: An enemy has an easy, obvious way to kill the character but inexplicably refuses to use it. Compare Contractual Immortality (a meta trope where a character cannot truly be dead since his or her actor hasn't left the show), Rule of Empathy (which may give Plot Armor to sympathetic non-protagonist characters, including villains) and Nobody Can Die (which gives Plot Armor to every character, including minor ones). Survived the Beginning usually involves characters developing Plot Armor after an initial bloodbath. For examples where important characters are just magnitudes stronger than the poor slobs who can't take even one hit, see Almost Lethal Weapons. For a variation of this trope present in video-games, where a character is invulnerable during gameplay for plot reasons, see You Call That a Wound?. Contrasts with Anyone Can Die, Characters Dropping Like Flies, Plotline Death, Red Shirt (which is someone wearing a plot target), and Decoy Protagonist (the first focus character does not have Plot Armor, to subvert the audience's expectations)

Plot Armor / int_1367cea0	comment	Jack Slash in Worm has survived as one of the most wanted men in America for two decades even as every other member of his gang has died and been replaced. This is because he has an unknown, even to him, secondary power which grants him an in-universe plot armor. The power subtly manipulates other parahumans to not kill Jack, making them hesitate or choose a different target. The only weakness to the power is that it can't work on non-parahumans, leading to Jack getting manhandled by a normal human in powered armor. Even then he still survives because another parahuman locks him in a time loop so he can't be killed.

Plot Armor / int_1858fe06	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): No matter how bad things get, Sonic is always guaranteed to win in the end or eventually rebound from a short term defeat. It's eventually revealed to be an In-Universe case: according to Mammoth Mogul and Eggman, Sonic's long-term exposure to Chaos Energy has essentially made him an Anthropomorphic Personification of Chaos, a living unknown factor; no matter how strong the bad guys get, no matter how ingenious their plans are, and no matter how far they calculate and plan, Sonic will win at the last minute. This has driven Mammoth Mogul to play the Long Game, using his immortality to his advantage to simply wait it out until Sonic dies of old age or just gets too old to fight, and is what led Eggman to create the reality warping Genesis Wave tech to have a way to counter it.

Plot Armor / int_192d8971	comment	Homeland: Peter Quinn. This show deals with espionage, terrorism, and national security, so, combined with the nature of Peter Quinn's character as an elite covert paramilitary operative, this character has exceptionally thick plot armor. Since his introduction in the second season his uniquely strong abilities in espionage, assassination, and surveillance have made him a central player because his presence makes it much easier to advance an interesting, suspenseful plot. Yet for exactly that reason, he has survived numerous attempts to kill him, sometimes bouncing back from near-mortal wounds in record time. As of the second to last episode of Season 6, Quinn has been shot twice in the gut, caught in an explosion, shot in the head (but it only grazed him) and then nearly drowned while trying to escape shooter, and even suffered a stroke after being sarin-gassed. The writers may be somewhat aware of this, as in Season 6, they depict him suffering serious paralysis and cognitive deficits as a result of the stroke. But he is still able to work mostly as well he did previously because he is able to singlehandedly both take down a SWAT team breaking into Carrie's house, and later uncover an internal false flag terrorism conspiracy black-op and kill one of its perpetrators.

Plot Armor / int_1a3a6af1	comment	Continuum has a strange form of plot armor. As a game about time travel, it has everything you are obligated to do enter your Yet — the things you must do. So it is entirely possible your death enters your Yet. That means your death is known, which means you have plot armor from other deaths, and in a game about time travel, that means even knowing you die tomorrow doesn't mean you don't have a lot of time yet. It gets weirder when you realize you might be wrong about your death, and it could be a clone, copy, or other shenanigans. This might become important should you die some other way, as the other time-traveling player characters now are separated from the real timeline by knowing a false one. They probably will be very interested in staging your "predicted" death in order to avoid this condition. Continuum is weird. Continuum's plot armor protects the plot. It averts Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act — a time traveler killed him. However, the secret society of time travelers of the Continuum has to keep history intact, so they've had to patch the timelines so what the history books said happened is...close to accurate. This means clones, body doubles, stealing the real Hitler for a bit, etc. Naturally, the replacement Hitlers keep getting killed or abducted or saved or whatever, too. The Continuum — which includes the Player Characters, literally are the plot armor keeping history as we know it intact. Too many paradoxes actually tear reality apart, or tear people out of reality. Continuum is a weird game. Joanne of Arc, for example, knows she dies in medieval France eventually. She is currently an agent of the Continuum. Do not mess with her. She will win, because she is going to die in medieval France when she decides it's time to fulfill her destiny.

However, the partners of the Digidestined do receive, in some way, this trope. While most Digimon die if they git hit by powerful attacks, the partners revert to their Rookie forms. If they were to die just as easy as most of the foes they face did, the Digidestined would have been defeated fairly quick.

Plot Armor / int_1dd9862b	comment	On ther other hand, it can easily be said that the protagonist of the first game, Makoto, has this. For example, everyone thinks he killed Sayaka, which would have resulted in everyone's deaths including his own, but he just so happens to have the one door that sticks, which he can use to prove he didn't do it. Or, when Junko breaks into his room in the middle of the night to stab him, Kyoko had luckily just been wandering around at night to see Junko trying this and fight her off. It happens again in the fifth trial, where he's getting executed and by all means shouldn't survive, but Alter Ego managed to use the last of his strength to save him (keep in mind, if it's Kyoko getting executed instead, Alter Ego doesn't show up to help). It even extends to Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School when he's the ONLY person who's brainwashing video gets interrupted. He's the only person subjected to one of those videos in the final killing game that doesn't die from it. Of course, it could be said to be Justified in Makoto's case, because being Born Lucky is the talent that got him invited to Hope's Peak in the first place, so he could be said to have Ultimate Plot Armor. Junko even lampshades this in the anime, noting that Makoto's luck protects his life and could make him a Spanner in the Works, which she then demonstrates by throwing a wrench at his head. Makoto slips on a piece of paper and lands on his rear, causing the wrench to barely miss him (he doesn't even notice), just as Junko thought would happen.

Plot Armor / int_1ff419c5	comment	In Kingdom Hearts II, while Riku can take damage during the final battle, he will not fall unconscious even at 0 HP. The only time he can lose is when Sora is captured by Xemnas and Riku must rescue him under player control. If he has 0 HP when this happens, he may simply not take any damage. The same applies to the data rematch in Final Mix. The trope applies to all party members in the series. While the playable character's defeat is a game over, party members simply fall unconscious, only to get up after a moment with some HP. The only exceptions are the above, where the party member cannot be defeated, and the fight with Captain Barbossa in the second game. If Jack is defeated, the game is over. Villainous example — this is a frequent criticism against Master Xehanort (the Arc Villain): His plans are so convoluted that "He must survive until Kingdom Hearts III" can be the only logical reason for his Near-Villain Victory streak thus far.

Plot Armor / int_2192aeb3	comment	In the Fire Emblem series, Permadeath is normally a feature. However, certain characters are critical enough to the plot that they'll merely suffer a Career-Ending Injury when reduced to 0 HP, rather than be killed, at least until the end of the war where it's sometimes stated they died of their wounds instead of getting their (usually) happy ending. Gameplay-wise, the effect is the same, but it allows them to still appear in cutscenes where needed. The actual main characters give a Game Over if they die. Deirdre and Julia from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War have a unique case of this. If either of them reaches 0 HP, they'll be captured by the enemy, and rescued at the end of the chapter. This is because the Big Bad needs them alive, since they carry the bloodline of the God of Evil he's trying to revive. Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 Eyvel is similarly plot-critical, but has a variant: for the first part of the game, she automatically dodges any attacks that'd kill her. This is to ensure that she makes it to the chapter where she gets turned to stone by the main villain. As Eyvel is an overleveled Fragile Speedster with an absurdly high dodge rate, and Thracia characters can never have more than 99% hit rates anyway, it's remarkably easy for players to assume Eyvel is just somewhat lucky. Fridge Brilliance kicks in when you realize that it isn't odd for Eyvel to be lucky. Given her identity as Brigid, she has major Ulir blood. Ulir blood drastically increases growths in Luck. Within the game data, several important NPCs and enemy characters cannot be killed and will dodge any attack that would put them at zero HP. Infact there is an actual invisible skill within the game data called "immortal", assigned to these characters, that allows them to dodge with 100 accuracy, any lethal attack, even if the opponent has a 100% hit chance. It isn't just important characters that have the skill either. The minor boss of chapter 20, Baraat/Barath, cannot be killed until his barrage of reinforcements show up, at which point he loses the immortality skill! Fire Emblem: Three Houses has several examples: Hubert on the Crimson Flower route and Gilbert on the Azure Moon route play this completely straight: as the second-in-command of their respective lords they will retreat if defeated in Classic mode and will continue to appear in cutscenes. Their ending cards do mention they eventually died of their wounds though. As an enemy, Hubert is infamous among players for his annoyingly thick plot armor, as he will retreat every single time the player defeats him until the battle of Enbarr. Hilda, Seteth and Flayn meanwhile have selective plot armor: Hilda only gets to wear hers on the Verdant Wind route where she's Claude's second-in-command and the same is true for Seteth and Flayn on the Silver Snow route, where Seteth is Byleth's second-in-command and Flayn tags along. All three characters will be Killed Off for Real if they fall on any other route. Similar to Hubert, the Death Knight simply won't die until the plot decides his appointed time has come, which can become ridiculous when the player faces him six times on the same route. Naturally, he drops his plot armor on Crimson Flower, the one route where he's playable.

Lucy Snow, the protagonist, is guaranteed to never endure this fate, even in the beginning where she still hasn't grasped the crafts of Hollow Fields. Even when she is sent to the Windmill, for reasons other than poor academic performance, she still escapes with quick thinking and help from her friends.

Bart Simpson has also had a vast number of attempts on his life from several different villains, all failing for various contrived reasons. The obligatory plot armor of the Simpson family is even lampshaded in a Treehouse of Horror episode, where most of the kids at the school have been killed and eaten and Bart and Lisa are in mortal danger. Since the specials are non-canon, however...

Plot Armor / int_2af8d0bc	comment	This trope is deconstructed in Yuki Yuna is a Hero. In the first half, the heroes always survive the fights against the Vertexes without a scratch on them, even after falling from heights that should have killed them. If the Vertex actually attacks one of them directly, their faery guardian will just block the attack harmlessly, so they still win without too much difficulty even when the Vertexes start to avert Conservation of Ninjutsu. In the second half, however, once it's revealed that they aren't recovering from the "temporary" injuries caused by the use of Mankai, Togo attempts suicide ten times, and her faeries stop her without fail, even from things like carbon monoxide poisoning. It turns out that the girls are destined to fight the Vertexes over and over without end, and therefore cannot be killed. Since the use of their powers progressively and inevitably takes their bodily functions away until they're ultimately tetraplegic, that is not a good thing.

Plot Armor / int_2fce14ae	comment	Wearing the Cape: Detective Fisher has a literal version. He's not actually a real person—he's the protagonist of a short, little known detective book series. Someone (presumably the author) had a Breakthrough and created a thought-construct in the form of the protagonist, a classic Hardboiled Detective who constantly smokes, always has a five o'clock shadow, and of course, never changes. Which definitely means no dying. Whenever he suffers what should be a lethal injury, he appears to "snap back" a few seconds, going from dead or dying to suddenly fine. Most of the time no one notices, but he is worried that one day the wrong people will witness it. He's also not cavalier with his life; as he says, dying hurts, and Astra wonders if a demon could kill him, both because of its power and because it's far beyond his genre.

Plot Armor / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha has a tendency to get into fights that are beyond his ability to win, only to suddenly demonstrate a new power that had never been seen or even hinted at before, or for another villain to bail him out at the last second. And then there was the time in which Sasuke evaded certain death from an explosion by a combination of two moves that each had immense chakra requirements, despite the reason that he was in danger in the first place being that he had already used up almost all his chakra, and did so in an implausibly short amount of time. Madara Uchiha is a villainous version of this. Since his resurrection, Madara got in a few situations in which he was very close to defeat, only to suddenly demonstrate a new power that had never been seen or even hinted at before, or just doing impossible actions without explanation. His most iconic one may be when he was somehow knew how to terminate the contract with Edo Tensei when the person who summoned him was defeated despite the fact that even the original creator of this jutsu did not know how to do it. And as if in confirmation of this when his Plot Armor disappeared (after activation Infinite Tsukiyomi) he was defeated with literally one hit in the back from Black Zetsu which showed that he manipulated Madara all this time and to use him as fodder for Kaguya's resurrection. The plot gods giveth and the plot gods taketh away, actually... In the final arc of the manga, over forty thousand members of the Shinobi Alliance died, which is half their total forces. Only a handful of them had names, and half of those were mostly introduced just to be killed off. Given just how many characters there are, it's a bit hard to swallow that half the army could have been killed off and hardly any of the major characters were among the casualties. The only confirmed deaths from pre-existing characters were Neji, Shikaku and Inoichi. In Gaara's fight with Kimimaro, he only survived literally because Kimimaro dropped dead on the spot, and even then he still should have been killed but dying completely robbed Kimimaro's attack of its momentum. For some reason.

Naturally, Batman and Superman both have Plot Armor to avoid or just plain tank it anyway.

Each school year, he gets into mortal peril at least once and each time barely manages to survive it due to the circumstances being slightly more in his favor. When people start praising his victories against the dark forces, Harry lampshades this by saying he only succeeded due to having an improbable amount of luck. Arthur Weasley suddenly gained Plot Armor when Rowling was writing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Her initial plan was for him to actually die after Nagini attacked him, but she realized that killing him would remove the Weasleys as Harry's safe haven and turn Ron from a lighthearted comic relief character to "Half a Harry" i.e., a much darker and serious character, which Rowling did not want. Remus and Nymphadora Lupin die in the final battle in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Arthur's place. Hagrid has Plot Armor throughout the whole series, because as stated by Word of God, Rowling knew that Hagrid would carry Harry at the end of the 7th book from the very beginning. This Plot Armor allows him to safely deal with creatures deemed mortally dangerous by the Ministry for Magic. A minor Running Gag with him is that it never really sinks in that they're actually dangerous to normal people; this causes problems when he becomes a teacher.

Plot Armor / int_3e8c09b9	comment	In Attack on Titan a few of the main characters sport some blatant Plot Armor that stops them from dying no matter what happens, even in a world where people die like flies, and even if they are not particularly skilled. The members of the 104th Training Corps have a knack for surviving whatever is thrown at them, while their seniors are dying all around them. Enemy barrages just happen to miss them, while others around them are reduced to very messy stains on a regular basis. Tragically, that armor comes to an end after the Time Skip, with Sasha Blaus being gunned down as their squad is leaving the battlefield and celebrating that they've all survived again, Hange being killed by the Wall Titans, and both Floch and Eren being killed by Mikasa near the end of the manga. The most painfully ironic example would have to be Reiner Braun, earning him the fan nickname of the Plot Armor Titan. What makes his repeated escapes from death so ironic is that he experiences Sanity Slippage from the guilt of his actions, becoming a full-blown Death Seeker that repeatedly begs to simply be allowed to die already and be free from his suffering. He ends up surviving the series.

He has near god-like speed, regenerative abilities, immunity to poison, and is inhumanly perceptive. Whenever someone apparently drives him into a corner, he always pulls another trick up his sleeve to escape (which he keeps deeply concealed within his plot armor).

The only one that is justifiable is Ban because he drank from the Fountain of Youth, which gave him Complete Immortality. Hawk takes an attack which killed many Holy Knights and dies, but he is resurrected without any explanation and is the only one to come back to life. Later, Galan of the Ten Commandments give a literal Curb-Stomp Battle to the Sins but they are saved because Gowther rewrote his memories so that he thought that he had already killed them. Meliodas is truly killed by his brother Estarossa but manages to return from the dead chapters later. Escanor does die in the penultimate battle, not from anything the Big Bad does, but from the accumulated damage of being burned alive by his own power every day for decades catching up to him.

When Connie has her spell removed, various other adventurers she's worked with start dying or suffering some other grim fate at an accelerated rate. Harrison immediately blames Connie for this, reasoning that by removing her chosenness, she had tipped the scales from triumph to tragedy, which will only escalate into the full-on collapse of the universe.

Plot Armor / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: All four main characters in the show, but especially Bobby. The general rule is that Bobby is invincible; Sam, Dean, and Castiel can die fairly frequently but will always be resurrected; and nobody else makes it through more than a season or two at most. In Season 7, Both Castiel and Bobby die, with an entire episode dedicated to the latter. As for the former, as in Season 6, they Never Found the Body and he was brought back. Although Bobby did come back as a ghost, when he started losing it, Dean torched his last remaining link to earth, thus destroying his ghost as well. His soul was last seen ascending to heaven. In Season 15, God successfully persuades Sam not to trap him by showing him that he has been giving the main characters plot armor, and that if he is imprisoned, they will lose it and be vulnerable to being killed by the monsters they fight. This becomes a plot of a later episode as directly opposing God, who is the literal author of their world, revokes their plot armor. They suddenly start experiencing common ailments like health problems from unhealthy food and barely brushing, while their things start breaking down without maintenance. They end up having to try and get luck from a goddess to shore up their plot survivability.

If their health does reach zero, they fall unconscious in Oblivion's case, while merely kneeling in Skyrim, only to stand up moments later as if nothing happened. This is done to prevent players from breaking entire questlines by killing certain characters, which was a huge problem in Morrowind. However, this can still end up Unwinnable if essential characters become trapped somewhere where they continuously take damage, like a lava pit.

Plot Armor / int_468bebb0	comment	Seen all the time in Discworld novels. Savvy characters sometimes just outright give up/run away because they recognize the plot armor the other guys have. An obligatory example would be the end of the The Fifth Elephant — a potential "rival" for Captain Carrot's werewolf girlfriend dies dramatically while Carrot escapes with bad wounds. Vimes can't bring himself to say anything since Carrot's genuinely a good man, but he notes that things tend to work out for a King Incognito. At this point, destroying the Disc itself probably couldn't kill Vetinari. A major plot element in The Last Hero. Cohen and his barbarian heroes have been exploiting it their whole lives, so when they realize they have the numbers on their side against an apparently ordinary man (Carrot again) and that therefore it would be him benefiting from it they instantly stand down. Rincewind the "Wizzard", despite the fact that hes has no magical talent whatsoever, has managed to survive several perils on the disc, often saving it in the process, simply by following a philosophy of always running and acting like a coward. It doesn't hurt that the Lady (of luck) loves him; unfortunately, Fate despises him.

Plot Armor / int_47dfc6f	comment	Total Drama: Heather in Island (2007). Despite her manipulative tactics earning the ire of just about every other player, she repeatedly manages to avoid elimination either by earning literal invincibility or through a Contrived Coincidence to make another player's elimination seem more immediately necessary. The most egregious examples would be Geoff's and Leshawna's eliminations. For the former, despite having wanted Heather gone for weeks and finally having the perfect opportunity to boot her (no invincibility, no immediate issues with other players), they decide to vote off Geoff instead for "being too nice," justifying this sudden shift in attitude with some Insane Troll Logic. In the latter, the eliminated contestants all have a chance to vote off one of the remaining team players, making it the perfect chance to say a certain someone's name. Unfortunately, so much as saying a contestants name counts as a vote, so when Katie and Sadie mistakenly vote for Leshawna, with many of the other contestants saying they don't want her voted off while using her name, and with Chris also counting the vote of a random parrot, she gets the boot anyway. From the same season, Owen. There are many times in which his actions should have logically gotten him eliminated, but he somehow always manages to avoid being voted off altogether even making it into the finals. The most notorious examples would be "If You Can' Take the Heat...", where him eating the ribs for the challenge costs his team the win, but the team votes out Beth instead because she got the team "cursed", and "Are We There, Yeti?", where he eats Chef's cinnamon rolls instead of getting him and Duncan immunity, but Chef eliminates Duncan instead for no reason. Ripper in Island (2023). He constantly annoys and disgusts his teammates with his obnoxious personality and gross habits, with Priya spending a good amount of time trying to get him eliminated (especially after he used her as a Human Shield during a challenge and got her maimed). Despite this, he survives being in the bottom 2 against Axel, Scary Girl, and Damien, and during the first challenge in the merge avoids elimination due to Wayne and Raj having to be evacuated as a result of being too injured to compete. He's finally booted in the next episode after losing immunity to Julia, long after most of the other contestants had gotten sick of him. Averted. Julia may share many similarities with the original Alpha Bitch Heather, but a major difference between the two is her lack thereof the trope given she won her immunities by her own merit rather than random chance, other players screwing up or Chris throwing out the votes just because. The one time the trope was in play is when Julia was convinced she was going to be eliminated for accidentally getting Chase and Emma back together until Raj and Wayne's cassowary cliff-diving accident caused a Non-Gameplay Elimination instead.

They're immune to being brainwashed by primals, they shake off an attack from Midgardsormr, an ancient dragon that has the capability to level entire cities, and can basically survive any attack thrown their way while anyone else that is not the main characters are cannon fodder. This is handwaved by explaining that the Warrior of Light is protected with Hydaelyn's blessing, which allows them to survive a lot of things.

Seemingly normal enemies to kill will sometimes soak up any and all weapons you throw at them, even though they are shown spewing fuel, oil, smoke, and debris. They just won't die, until you reach a certain point, whether it's a boss fight finishing his monologue, or a certain mook flying to a specific location to have a cinematic death. Even if you are the best player ever, and hit with every shot, avoid every attack, and never lose sight of your target, some of them refuse to die until it's time. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has you encounter enemy ace pilot Mihaly several times, and until the final fight, his plane just gets damaged in "non-critical areas" and is effectively invincible no matter how many times you hit him with missiles, guns, or other weapons.

Plot Armor / int_49ad83ee	comment	A frequent fan criticism in World of Warcraft, where important characters and factions are usually kept around despite the constant warfare and ubiquitous overwhelming odds which should have by rights wiped them out years ago. Particularly frustrating when you see a main character do something despicable (this is war, after all) and just know they're never going to be meaningfully punished. Notably, the majority of politically important player groups probably should no longer exist. The Blood Elves, Gnomes, Draenei, Worgen, and Goblins are all the "last survivors" of various devastating wars and disasters, but can all still muster sufficient troops at any given time. The Darkspear are supposedly a small tribe with at most a few thousand members, but their numbers and military prowess never seems to dwindle. Non-player groups benefit from this as well. The Scarlet Crusade couldn't have been a very big movement to begin with, but despite years of being kicked around by neverending Scourge, Alliance, and Horde attacks, they remain active and prominent simply because the Forsaken need enemies to fight who are objectively more evil than they are. There logically couldn't be more than a few hundred High Elves or survivors of Lorderon around, but those groups can always muster sufficient military forces when the story calls for them. (This is particularly ironic in the case of Lorderon, given that their forces are almost always further devastated by whatever they're called on to fight.) A particularly pronounced example was the Siege of Orgrimmar. At face value this would be a devastating setback for the Horde and a decisive, even potentially conflict-ending win for the Alliance. But of course, the game must maintain its balance of relative power, so you quickly realize that very little real damage can or will be done to the Horde. By the next expansion, the Horde was battling the Alliance as if nothing had happened beyond losing several notable NPCs. In contrast to the Horde leaders, most of whom die all the time, most of the Alliance leaders never die. For example, whilst Horde leader, Cairne, was Killed Off for Real in Cataclysm, Alliance leader, Magni, was simply turned Taken Forgranite and later returned as a major character in Battle for Azeroth. Battle for Azeroth also lampshades this with the Alliance leader, Gelbin, activating Proto Layered Optimal Titan Armor, or P.L.O.T. armor to save himself. The comic "Anduin: Son of the Wolf" ends with a Flash Forward to a conversation between Velen and Anduin, the latter of whom is now an old man. Given that Anduin is only 17 in Legion, this means both of these characters must survive for at least the next 50 or so in-universe years — probably well beyond the lifespan of WoW, unless there's a Time Skip or something. It's especially bad because the comic came out right around the time Velen announced his seemingly suicidal plan to retake Argus from the Burning Legion.

Plot Armor / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck gets hit with this pretty hard; while the series doesn't shy away from the main characters dying, there's usually a loophole to get them out of it. Dream selves, time hopping doubles, and alternate timeline duplicates are all fair game though. In fact this is so prevalent that when Bro and Davesprite seemed to be Killed Off for Real, the predominant fan reaction was Like You Would Really Do It. Turns out only one was actually killed. At one point, after describing how Vriska's actions get her entire group killed, Doc Scratch remarks that such an event would clearly not be allowed by the alpha timeline, and reveals what actually happened: Terezi killed Vriska. Andrew Hussie is also prone to giving characters temporary plot armor by way of the series' weird time mechanics and flash-forwards. Gamzee Makara has literal plot armor given to him, supposedly having something to do with his being a clown (as stated by the author avatar). He is absolutely incapable of dying, taking more than a hundred bullets to the chest and regenerating his torn body. This is lampshaded in the following conversation: A general rule is this: If a character is a human SBURB player, Karkat, or one of Karkat's friends, they're safe and any death will turn out to be a fake. Anyone else dying is fair game, including any carapacian including AR and the agents and some of the more minor trolls. Vriska did stay dead for an extremely large portion of the comic but was eventually revived by means of her death being ret-conned away. Ascending to the God Tiers gives characters near-impenetrable in-story Plot Armor. They can only be killed in a manner that is either heroic or just, preventing meaningless deaths. Interestingly, the heroicness or justness of the deaths are decided by a clock, it is not clear if a single clock or one per character, but the important thing is that the clock simply exists within the universe of the story, meaning characters could conceivably go and mess with it to kill or save a particular God Tier. This is one interpretation of what happens to Vriska, as a Take That! to the fans arguing back and forth on her villainous nature or lack thereof. Aranea shows that her luck-based powers work on the clock, which aided in killing off some God Tiered characters, but the events of which were ret-conned later. Even the characters she killed ended up surviving to the end thanks to an alternate timeline.

Plot Armor / int_52c8adde	comment	This trope is one reason Gotrek, son of Gurni is either the best or worst member of the Slayer Cult, a penitent branch of dwarfen religion, sworn to atone for their sins by finding the biggest baddest enemies of dwarfdom and kill them (repeat until one of said enemies kill them). We don't know how long Gotrek was at this before he hooked up with Felix, but the two of them have been trying to get Gotrek killed for over 25 years in-universenote and in that time have literally killed several entire armies, not to mention several god-like beings, a dragon and an entire floating city of Dark Elves. Of course, Gotrek does carry an epic-level magic axe, which makes him significantly harder to kill. Also applies to many of the other characters, particularly "Mad" Malakai Makaisson (a Slayer engineer, who has survived the explosion of at least two hydrogen-filled airships, plus a mountain exploding and collapsing on him, among other things) and Grey Seer Thanquol (a Chaotic Stupid rat-man wizard. He's actually the only major enemy Gotrek and Felix have had that's still alive. Mostly because it's funny).

For the most part it's unobtrusive, since it's a war game and it's entirely possible to lose during the individual stages, but it's impossible to lose any of your lieutenants permanently (without getting a Game Over, anyway). There's also the fact that Selvaria, upon being captured, requests that Squad 7 be let go to escort her men away from the battle field before she flash-fries the rest of the army in her Suicide Attack. Squad 7 is the only reason she was captured in the first place and represents the only serious threat to the Empire; if she didn't have to let them walk because of the plot, the Empire would've won.

But in the linked strip, she beats and captures the entire Order between panels, not even merely routing them.

And Elan the Bard, who asked the Oracle, "Does this story have a happy ending?" and received the answer, "Yes, for you, at least." Elan can die only in a means which makes the Oracle's prophecy true.

Plot Armor / int_57ad0c07	comment	In Resident Evil, the main characters are always protected against the various zombifying viruses and outbreaks, at least partially due to gameplay mechanics. The developers attempted to handwave the whole thing by saying that 10% of the world's population has a natural immunity to the virus, which would explain why the protagonists never get infected. The T-Virus that the heroes try to fight against is spread via biting (or through the environment, like water), and you can have your player bitten (or wade through T-Virus infested water in the case of the first game) and suffer no ill side effects. Taken to the extreme in Leon's fight against the first Lepotitsa in Resident Evil 6; the creature releases the C-Virus in gas form that instantly zombifies anyone who breathes it in... but Leon and Helena only lose some health from it. The only exception is the first game's Yawn, who poisons the player normally instead. Also, Jill gets infected in the third game, but another survivor, Carlos, is able to make a vaccine for her.

Plot Armor / int_5999b1ec	comment	This is made literal in the Xanth novels. In the very first Xanth novel, Bink's magic talent is essentially plot armor, as he cannot be harmed by magic. Unlike many examples, the book is kept interesting because it is a great deal of the point of the plot, and it is not known that this is his talent until quite late in the book, when he exploits it. In the second book, he is specifically chosen for the task of finding the source of magic due to his immunity to harm from it. Despite this, his talent is somewhat picky about what is defined by "harm", and he is still worried that he could be killed by mundane means, as well as by the source of all magic itself, a nearly omnipotent demon. In the end, however, it is implied that his talent is in fact so powerful that even the demon could not overcome it, and that all his seeming misfortune was what saved him in no end. In later books, which become more and more comedy-based, anybody who was one of the stars of a given book has in-universe "major character" status, guaranteeing their safety for at least that one story. Okra Ogress tries to put Jenny Elf into a life threatening incident, but can't do it simply because Jenny is a major character. Ironically, the reason Okra was trying to get Jenny killed was so that she could get the major character status for herself.

As the past has shown, WWE (in particular RAW) won't push anybody higher than they absolutely have to. Look at Hogan. Stayed on top until he left. Everyone else was on the fringe until Hogan, Savage, Warrior and co. were all gone. Once the "main event" guys started defecting to WCW, then guys like Steve Austin found room at the top. After Austin, Rock and others left, Cena, Orton and Batista found their way up the card. Now, despite having the most talented and charismatic roster of all time possibly, nobody in WWE gets any kind of push-up except the veterans who can barely walk anymore, or people with family connections, like Roman Reigns (cousin of Rocky) or Charlotte (daughter of Ric Flair).

Of course this is because he's in the early stages of becoming a Surgebinder and it unconsciously using his various powers, including being a Gravity Master, to keep himself and others alive.

Plot Armor / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: First Edition described adventurer's Hit Points as a combination of toughness, luck and other factors, essentially a numeric value for how much plot armor they have. Fourth Edition also introduced the reverse: 'minions' are adversaries that specifically exist to be taken out by the first hit to be scored against them and thus explicitly lack any plot armor whatsoever. A high-level character's hit points don't necessarily mean he or she can withstand more damage, it just means that they've become adept at making attacks Only a Flesh Wound. An arrow that causes 20 damage would fatally lodge in the throat of a 1st level fighter or minion, but only superficially graze a 20th level fighter. This is all a Hand Wave for explaining why some human-sized adventurers can survive more damage than monsters the size of houses. On a meta level, some Dungeonmasters will never let the players actually die, regardless of the circumstances. If this is a good thing depends on your preference of gameplay... some players like that they won't abruptly lose the character they've spent several sessions building: some players think this robs the game of any kind of suspense or risk. Dark Sun: In 2nd Edition, the Dragon of Tyr is supposed to be nigh-unreachable and completely unbeatable — too powerful for the standard Character Level range, too Crazy-Prepared for a stronger party, and, most importantly, vital to the Metaplot. The module Valley of Dust and Fire explicitly warns the Game Master not to allow the Dragon to die unless they're prepared to make major changes to all subsequent scenarios.

This sometimes takes the form of literal Plot Armor, as in the plastic-wrap force-field the title characters were given by their mother. They both lose their plastic-wrap force-field, but still retain their plot armor. At one point when Bob is presumed killed, the title and banner of the webcomic changed to simply being 'George,' until it was revealed he actually survived.

Plot Armor / int_6c1d09b4	comment	Fallout 4 is similar to Skyrim in this regard: an NPC flagged "essential" will take a knee when it reaches zero hit points instead of dying. Any NPC involved in a current quest, available as a companion, or involved in the main plot tends to have this flag, meaning almost every named NPC in the game that's not specifically an enemy is immortal and invincible. This causes the Diamond City Blues quest to be significantly more shocking than intended, since a named allied NPC that runs a store (storekeepers are also mostly flagged) can die during a combat sequence with no buildup or fanfare.

Plot Armor / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: In "Camelot"/"Flesh and Blood", an Ori fleet destroys a combined force of more than 10 allied ships, and miraculously the main characters (divided among three of them, the fourth floating unprotected from debris and only kilometers away in space as it all occurs) all manage to survive due to various circumstances. Par for the course for this series, it's the Russian ship which goes down (despite 2 main characters being aboard). A variation of this trope appears in the fourth season episode "2010", in which the four regulars do actually die, but they are considerably more resistant to the effects of the automatic security weapons than an unnamed extra who dies almost instantly. While they do eventually succumb after dozens of hits, they naturally survive just long enough to accomplish their mission, which is basically to push the Reset Button. This happens multiple times. Alternate versions, cloned versions, or "our" versions in the presence of something that can save them lose their plot armor fast. Daniel Jackson is particular is noted for dying or otherwise taking critical damage over and over and over again. In a regular episode he's protected, but if a Goa'uld sarcophagus is around or a Reset Button is pushable, expect him to be staff-blasted, or buried under tons of rock, lose limbs, etc. etc. It's not easy being him.

While these characters are certainly placed in danger often enough, they are often kept alive by what amounts to pure luck. Possibly the most transparent example of this is at the beginning of Season 5, where Rick, Daryl, and Glenn are about to be slaughtered by a Cannibal Clan and are placed at the end of a line with nothing but Red Shirts in front of them. The butcher works his way through killing the extras, but is interrupted and stopped by another cannibal approaching him a split second before he can kill Glenn.

He's survived time and again without so much as the excuse of being Force Sensitive — maybe he was Born Lucky, but at a high cost. Wedge can actually be considered a nice deconstruction, of a character granted Plot Armor but who considers it more of a curse than a blessing, for the aforementioned reasons. Rather hilariously, in the final mission of X-Wing Alliance Wedge's X-wing actually is set to invincible, because otherwise the game's AI would never have gotten him through the Death Star reactor alive.

In the original Halo Trilogy, both Sergeant Avery Johnson and Captain Miranda Keyes have this full stop, up until their respective cutscene deaths in Halo 3 though of course.

Plot Armor / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: In all the series, the weekly evil alien menaces have killed dozens of redshirts but only two major characters. And one of them kind of came back, albeit with a new body and personality. During space battles the ships that house major characters also have character shields, with many other ships being destroyed instead. A common thing for the Chief Medical Officer of all the series to do whenever someone is injured or killed has a near suicidal tendency to walk right up to said person right that second and start administering treatment, even if whatever threat that hurt that person is still there, such as in the middle of a firefight. This trope seems to be the only adequate explanation these people don't end up dead. The lethality of phaser weapons also seem to vary wildly depending on who they're being shot at. While there are multiple phaser settings that usually include disintegrate, against main characters they only seem to have three: stun, knock back, and mildly scorch. Deconstructed in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Latent Image", when the Doctor suffers a literal Heroic BSoD due to previously-deleted memories of a medical incident where he had to choose between saving series regular Ensign Harry Kim or Ens. Ahni Jetal. The Doctor was programmed to treat patients by prioritizing medical need, but both Kim and Jetal had equal chances of survival, and he selected Kim because he was his friend, and his programming couldn't reconcile with his reasoning. Captain Pike in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds gets his own personal plot armor In-Universe, as he has been shown the future and knows he survives until 10 years past the date the series starts on. In the fourth episode he transfers this plot armor to the Enterprise, driving it into a star and then the edge of a black hole because he knows he must survive, therefore the ship will as well. It does still end 7 crewmembers dying however.

So her plan is basically to put on a costume and act like a Superhero (well, Anti-Hero) that is the star of a story, so that she will gain plot armor. That she knows she can't be killed because she is the star of her own book essentially becomes her superpower. This ends up getting deconstructed in her encounter with Deadpool along with Popularity Power. Gwen boasts that she'll be able to kill Wade because this is her book and her Plot Armor will save her. When Wade figures out what's going on, he delivers a devastating "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Gwen by pointing out that she's a D-Lister who casual readers might confuse for one of the many Gwen Stacy duplicates that spawned from Spider-Gwen's popularity while he's an A-Lister with hundreds of issues, merchandise and the highest-grossing R-Rated movie of all time — there was no way she will win.

Plot Armor / int_8832bf9a	comment	The Velvet Knights and the recently rescued princesses in Commander Kitty had to be wearing a pretty sturdy set to survive being at the mercy of a psychotic A.I. with control over a transporter. First, there's the issue that said A.I. teleports them back to their own ship, instead of, say, into open space. Then, after their ship gets sucker punched by a torpedo, they somehow had time to don space suits before the bridge decompressed, and the princesses were fortunate enough to end up in a still-pressurized part of the ship. This extends to CK's crew as well. Turns out, Zenith doesn't even need them aboard the ship, so why the heck she didn't at least teleport them onto the Velvet Knight before torpedoing it is anyone's guess.

Plot Armor / int_8ac4e993	comment	Every Gundam series uses it to some extent due to the general During the War/War Is Hell setting, with extremely few main characters ending up as casualties of plot-irrelevant battles regardless of their tactical situation. Some shows completely spare the main cast while others put the lesser heroes through the ringer (and typically only in the last few episodes, at that; if the Plot Armor gets pierced, it almost always happens in the finale). Many a Flame War has been started over whether a series uses Plot Armor beyond Willing Suspension of Disbelief. One common form of Plot Armor that can be seen throughout the Gundam franchise is that ordinary "grunt" mobile suits tend to mysteriously become a lot more durable than usual if a main character has to temporarily pilot one of them. And the reverse is also true. Whenever a Super Prototype gets put into mass production, even if it explicitly isn't downgraded in the process, the new ones never do as well as the original.

Plot Armor / int_8d817ccb	comment	Lost: In the first season, Arzt tells the rest of the Losties that the centuries-old dynamite they've found is very fragile when holding a stick... which then explodes in his hand. But then rest of the Losties (Jack, Kate, Hurley) carry the dynamite without ever exploding, even though they do, in fact, run with it. Happens again in the sixth season, where Ilana, in the middle of a rant, roughly drops a bag of said dynamite. She dies rather anti-climatically. Also, in the last season, Lapidus survives an exploding submarine, which is absolutely necessary for the plot because he's the only pilot. Parodied in "How Lost should have ended". This trope is actually a Justified Trope in-story as the island itself protecting them. Characters can only die when the island is done with them. Applies even more so to the main cast, who are candidates to replace Jacob and have literal plot armor. Jack even figures this out and exploits it. He actually lights a stick of dynamite and lets the fuse run out. Nothing happens.

Mark Antony, confused by this, asks why he let them go when by all accounts they should have been punished severely and made an example of. Caesar replies: "Any other man, certainly. But those two, they found my stolen standard, now they survive a wreck that drowned an army, and find Pompey Magnus on a beach.

However Urpgor, Sgt Blob and his cadets not only are Made of Iron and constantly survived near certain fatal scenarios and injuries but were never properly disposed of by Zordrak despite their constant bumbling (though at least one episode justifies this, with Zordrak having decided killing mooks on a whim isn't very productive). Their foes, Rufus and Amberley, are even more exaggeratively safeguarded, generally defeating their foes with barely any effort and usually being totally immune to even slapstick pain. Even cases the Urpneys offer a genuine threat and have them on the ropes, a Deus ex Machina will quickly dumb it back down so the Noops still have victory just a couple easy steps within their grasp. Only a handful of episodes force the Noops to deal with a challenge based on their own competence, and even then it's difficult to say they don't have the story on their side.

Plot Armor / int_951c41c1	comment	Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 Eyvel is similarly plot-critical, but has a variant: for the first part of the game, she automatically dodges any attacks that'd kill her. This is to ensure that she makes it to the chapter where she gets turned to stone by the main villain. As Eyvel is an overleveled Fragile Speedster with an absurdly high dodge rate, and Thracia characters can never have more than 99% hit rates anyway, it's remarkably easy for players to assume Eyvel is just somewhat lucky. Fridge Brilliance kicks in when you realize that it isn't odd for Eyvel to be lucky. Given her identity as Brigid, she has major Ulir blood. Ulir blood drastically increases growths in Luck. Within the game data, several important NPCs and enemy characters cannot be killed and will dodge any attack that would put them at zero HP. Infact there is an actual invisible skill within the game data called "immortal", assigned to these characters, that allows them to dodge with 100 accuracy, any lethal attack, even if the opponent has a 100% hit chance. It isn't just important characters that have the skill either. The minor boss of chapter 20, Baraat/Barath, cannot be killed until his barrage of reinforcements show up, at which point he loses the immortality skill!

Plot Armor / int_9c33b8ab	comment	Sliders: The reason the characters never happened to slide right into sulfuric acid. They did once wind up on a world that was completely engulfed in fire — but they were conveniently in the only clear spot we saw, just big enough for them, and were only stuck there for 10 seconds. (Mind you, simply not touching the flames would be no protection whatsoever from the heat of being surrounded by that much flame. However, since the fire on that world was alive, and a little of it followed them, perhaps it decided not to harm them. One slide had them facing down some whacked-out tsunami coming to turn California into very tiny dirt clumps. Fortunately it was a short trip. While their plot armor managed to save them from several of the most horrible scenarios, it had no qualms with leaving them at the status quo as well... in one episode, they slid into a world in which everyone — including them — had become filthy stinking rich. Naturally, they could only stay for a few minutes and didn't have time to capitalize on their newfound wealth. It's actually a built-in part of the Applied Phlebotinum: it somehow scans the area around the target and will not open a portal into something instantly lethal, like underground or a mile in the air. It will find the one safe spot in someplace like the world of fire. However, the operative word is 'instantly.' You'd better run if that tsunami is a mile off but moving at a rate that will submerge you in minutes, or if the sulfuric acid comes in the form of rain that's on the way!

Plot Armor / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind averts it with NPCs. You can kill anyone in the game if you so choose and are strong enough to do so. Most plot-important characters are marked as "essential", meaning killing them will result in a pop-up text stating that the character you've killed was vital to "fulfilling the prophecy" and recommending that you load a saved game from before their death or "persist in the doomed world you created", but that is all. (And some plot-important NPCs do not give this message.) Both Oblivion and Skyrim play this trope straight, as the numerous "essential" characters literally can't die before their role in the game is fulfilled. If their health does reach zero, they fall unconscious in Oblivion's case, while merely kneeling in Skyrim, only to stand up moments later as if nothing happened. This is done to prevent players from breaking entire questlines by killing certain characters, which was a huge problem in Morrowind. However, this can still end up Unwinnable if essential characters become trapped somewhere where they continuously take damage, like a lava pit.

Plot Armor / int_9d47a2a2	comment	Subverted in A Song of Ice and Fire, as the perceived main heroes (Ned Stark, Robb Stark) and several characters who were darlings of the readers (Ygritte) pay for their stupid mistakes with death. George R. R. Martin wants to make a point here: Anyone Can Die, and nobody, especially not those who embrace the formulaic role of the Lawful Stupid hero, escapes the consequences of screwing up. Not even the POV characters are protected (at least one, probably two of them are dead by the fifth book). On the other side, some characters who start as secondary characters and little by little gain importance may (or may not) have a form of plot armor against death: Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion are generally perceived by fans to be characters who are going to be there for the end game, even though they are not standard adventure heroes by any stretch of the imagination. Note however that 1) they are not protected against damage, pain and suffering, and 2) when they do something "heroic" for love or idealism, the result is usually quite counterproductive, when not downright disastrous. Word of God doesn't agree with fans here. GRRM, during a convention, was asked if Dany had a "plot armor" against death, and replied that she was as likely to die as anyone else. Arya Stark racks up a virtually countless number of daring escapes unscathed. A popular rumor is that GRRM promised his wife he'd never kill Arya because that's her favorite character. Bran Stark survives several murder attempts. (He is horribly hurt, however.) Catelyn Stark doesn't let death get in the way of remaining in the series.

Plot Armor / int_9e2f90f4	comment	Monkey D. Luffy of One Piece sports a rather blatant form of Plot Armor, to the point where it may very well be a plot point. The same goes for the rest of the Straw Hat Crew, especially Zoro. Granted that he had immense strength and durability but sometimes it's kind of unbelievable. For example: When Luffy was exhausted to the point of no longer being able to move and under the danger of being nuked to hell, his severely damaged and barely functioning ship that had been abandoned days prior on another island drifted to his location at that exact moment and his crewmates were able to throw him on and escape. This level of plot armor extends beyond blind luck too; no matter how strong the enemies are, nothing will ever kill one of the Straw Hats. The crew's sharpshooter Usopp, described by Word of God as being supposedly only as strong as a normal person, was able to be smashed by a 4-ton bat and dragged along the ground at 40 miles an hour and live. Truly, the Straw Hats' "limits" are at the complete whim of the plot. They can withstand anything short of being completely obliterated and any attack capable of doing that will simply not touch them for one reason or another. Of course, the series is known for "No One Dies in One Piece" because every character outside of a Flashback showed this sort of durability, at least for around 600 chapters.

Wooden ships with spar torpedoes can apparently easily destroy modern warships, World War II-era short-wave radar is good at catching F-35 stealth fighters, and outdated T-34s are technically better than M1 Abrams for being easier to repair and more reliable (though at least the author tries to justifies this by pointing out that they should avoid pitched battles with modern armour, it doesn't excuse how modern hand-portable anti-tank weapons would shred a T-34 without any trouble).

Plot Armor / int_a96a7ada	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! has this a lot, with characters drawing cards that let them win a duel simply because the plot wouldn't be able to move on otherwise. Not only does nobody important die, when characters do die or otherwise lose their souls, they always come back once the villains are defeated (The card thing, admittedly, seems to be an in-world phenomenon related to the bond between cards and player). The Battle City Finals in Duel Monsters, where most characters win/lose due to plot armor, since the story needs certain duelists to meet in the finals. Yugi is about to lose to Bakura until on his very last turn he gets an Egyptian God Card. Rishid is about to win against Jonouchi, but Malik orders him to summon the copy of The Winged Dragon of Ra, resulting in Ra getting enraged and striking both players with lightning, from which Jonouchi recovers with The Power of Friendship. Mai would have beaten Yami Malik had she just attacked, but instead tries to summon Ra and can't read its text, and Yami Malik uses Ra instead. Kaiba suddenly has a vision that tells him that he should use his Blue-Eyes White Dragon instead of Obelisk, sacrificing his Egyptian God Card, which makes Ishizu's trap card useless. And then in the semi-finals, Jonouchi would have defeated Yami Malik, but nearly dies because of the torture he had to endure in the duel. And Yugi is able to save himself from losing to Kaiba by suddenly being able to use the effect of Kaiba's Flute of Summoning Dragon. The duel with Dartz is especially notable as both Yugi and Dartz end up playing cards that prevent them from losing while are on the field, even if their lifepoints reach 0. In Season 5 of Duel Monsters, Yugi and his friends come across Zorc's second head in the Puzzle. Despite getting directly hit by the fire, Yugi isn't injured at all, and neither are his friends. The Abridged Series naturally likes to poke fun at this whenever it can. Yugi and the gang frequently insist that they'll always win because they're the main characters. Occasionally defied, however, as this logic sometimes backfires on them. The WRGP Arc of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds remains largely notable for Yusei, the protagonist, being given a lot of Plot Armor by the format: he's the team's last wheeler, meaning that if he loses, the team would get kicked out. Naturally, this means that while Jack, Crow, and Aki get some pretty severe (in some cases humiliating) losses handed to them in the arc, Yusei walks away with a spotless record every time. The most infamous instances of this were probably the Team Unicorn and Team Ragnarok duels, where Yusei's opponents in both games essentially defeat themselves rather than hand Yusei a loss.

Then he joins his grandson Jotaro's ensemble for an arc full of Sacrificial Lions and averts Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome and Mentor Occupational Hazard to live through that as well. Amazingly, he even manages to come back from having most of his blood drained after having a knife thrown through his neck; the doctors just put the blood back, and he was right as rain and making jokes again minutes later.

Plot Armor / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: While the series gained fame for its Anyone Can Die enthusiasm for killing off major characters, there are many examples of important characters surviving improbable circumstances to keep the story going: In the Battle of the Blackwater, Stannis Baratheon and his soldiers storm the beach outside King's Landing and he gets as far as the top of the wall, fighting off several Lannister soldiers. More are closing in when the retreat is called. The scene changes and the next time we see him he is back at Dragonstone assessing the failure of the invasion. The waif stabs Arya almost to the hilt of her knife several times in the stomach. Any one of the resulting wounds would most likely be a mortal injury without modern surgery, but Arya manages to fight off the waif and ultimately survives, by swimming under water far enough for the waif to not find her and walking to a friend's house, who stitches her wounds up. To compare, Robb and Tywin were killed with lesser stabs. Davos Seaworth survives the destruction of his ship, washes up ashore without drowning, and is picked up by Stannis loyalists before he can die of exposure. Ramsay Snow leads Bolton men against Ironborn raiders while bare-chested, despite the importance of armor being lampshaded in the previous episode. Jon Snow survives a major battle after charging the enemy alone and getting caught between two cavalry charges. He has several brushes with death, but fortune (and the Lord of Light) favors him every time. Jaime Lannister charges on horse towards Daenerys, who is beside her biggest dragon. Drogon, of course, attacks Jaime with deadly dragonbreath... but he is saved by Bronn tackling him to safety out of nowhere. That safety being a lake where the characters stay under water long enough for the armies to pass. The characters were also wearing heavy armor that limits mobility underwater. The second time unlimited underwater time saved characters. In "Watchers on the Wall," Gilly sneaks past the wildlings to reach Castle Black, and sitting ducks like Sam and Olly are barely targeted. Jon Snow survives a battle with an army of undead of seemingly a hundred thousand plus by falling in through the ice into freezing water in the middle of the arctic winter and staying underwater while this whole army passes to some distance. Similarly the wights make a show of drowning Tormund, giving enough time for the heroes to save him, despite them killing 2 Red Shirts quickly. In "The Long Night," almost all of the named characters survive seemingly impossible odds, each fighting off scores of wights and suffering only superficial scrapes and scratchesnote Sam earns a special mention, he was flailing beneath tens of wights and still survived the episode. Given that the episode was one of the last of the series, viewers expecting a character bloodbath were very surprised by how many survived. Carried on to the end of the series, the only characters that died who were related to the Long Night were... The Hound, Jaime and Daenerys. Cersei has this on a factional level as well as a personal one. She ends Season 6 by having the Sept of Baelor blown up, the destruction of a major religious center that should have made everyone else (barring unusual cases like Qyburn) hate her, and she had many enemies even before that. Among her enemies are Arya, a face-changing assassin who's shown to be capable of killing even well-guarded people, and Daenerys, someone who commands three dragons (in addition to formidable armies) and should be able to defeat Cersei's forces head-on. She is also known by just about everyone to deal with her to be unstable to borderline Stupid Evil levels, and holds a claim on the throne that is shaky at best. Despite this, Cersei survives for most of two more seasons and even gains allies during this period, like Euron, the Tarlys and the Iron Bank.

Eleven looks like having died at the end of Season 1, but turns out to have escaped the Upside Down in the following season. Hopper's apparent death in Season 3 turns out to have not been the case and he in fact ends up in a Soviet prison. The notable exception is Max, who does something in the "seriously good category". "Dear Billy" from Season 4 relies on the show making the audience think she isn't wearing Plot Armor and is going to become Vecna's third victim. Her fate is left uncertain through pretty much the entire episode, culminating in the "Running Up That Hill" sequence where she is seemingly about to die but is saved by The Power of Rock, her happy memories and the fact Vecna is a rubbish shot. A triple subversion follows in the finale "Piggyback" she is killed by Vecna, then resurrected by Eleven via a healing power not obviously mentioned before... but still ends up in a coma with major injuries with her consciousness/soul missing. The fandom was divided between those who wanted Max to have died to demonstrate real stakes and those who were grateful a now fan-favorite had survived.

There's an Anyone Can Die-style atmosphere in the second season, but of the characters killed in the Time Skip (Aquagirl, Jason Todd, Marie Logan and Ted Kord), only Aquagirl and Marie had any real role in the plot. All of the major characters were safe. At least until the finale, when Kid Flash pulled a Heroic Sacrifice (and one that anyone with even a passing knowledge of Flash comics knows was never intended to be permanent at that). More generally, that the team was able to operate at all when the Light had the resources and power to wipe them out in two seconds flat at basically any point. Ditto with the Justice League actually, though they were kept alive because the Light wanted to frame them. For some reason.

Plot Armor / int_b962c879	comment	Literally nobody important to the plot dies in Fairy Tail, though later arcs (such as Tartaros and Albareth) started to change that. All four of the main characters go through at least one near-death experience per arc and survive (Lucy did really die once, but it was her future self saving her present self from death), and even Lisana who dies before the story starts, ends up in Edolas rather than Heaven. People and attacks that have defeated countless people till then can't even put the Main Characters unconscious. And again at the end of the Tenrou Island arc, all of us thought the main characters died after getting blasted by Acnologia's attack. Seven years later, and we find out Mavis Vermillion, the first guild master of Fairy Tail, converted them into magic. This gets ridiculous in the Alvarez Empire Arc when they face the power of the Spriggan 12, who are all at least as powerful as the strongest wizard in Ishgar. Gajeel is pulled to the Underworld and manages to return to the world of the living, because a wizard used a spell that reshaped Fiore's landmass at the moment of the transfer. Then Juvia attempts to commit suicide and even transfuses her blood into Gray to save his life, only to be revived on the brink of death by Wendy. Natsu gets his chest pierced but Lucy realizes she can save him by rewriting the letters on the book of END that are vanishing at the same time.

(Arthur learns this from meeting somebody who wants to kill him because of a long list of things Arthur did, including something that happened there. When he discovers that Arthur hasn't even heard of Stavromula Beta yet, he realises that this means Arthur can't be killed yet without causing a serious time paradox — but he's so angry he tries to kill Arthur anyway.) This leads to a shocking twist at the end of Mostly Harmless, when Arthur unwittingly fulfills the conditions of the accidental prophecy, and is swiftly Killed Off for Real. Probably. To much collective dismay, Authors are not granted the benefits of Plot Armor, and dying has caused a serious disruption in the successful use of Plot Armor.

Plot Armor / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Invulnerable saves in Warhammer 40,000 and Ward saves in Warhammer are usually justified as superior agility, supernatural toughness, magical wards, or force fields, but for some people they are explained as luck or fate. Plenty of special characters have the Eternal Warrior rule that grants them immunity to instant death attacks. It's supposedly to represent their superhuman toughness, but let's face it, the game developers don't want to see the likes of Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines or Abaddon the Despoiler, Warmaster of Chaos get one-shotted by a lascannon on the first turn (bonus points for being from Games Workshop's Creator's Pet faction). It might be worth noting that Abaddon has gotten killed in White Dwarf Battle Reports (in one case he was cut to ribbons by the Sanguinor). Abaddon actually has this as an ability in the 30k ruleset The Horus Heresy. Increasing his odds of surviving enemy attacks to show that the Chaos Gods have plans for him. The playable factions get this to a degree but the worst offenders are The Imperium of Man; especially a certain all-male, Power-armour wearing, Super-Soldier faction. For example, during the campaign for Cadia, Abaddon won but they retconned the campaign as not canon, because then Chaos would win and the Imperium, apparently the Main Characters of 40K, would fall. The RPG spinoffs Dark Heresy and associated games have it as a rule. Characters have a small number of Fate points that are good for rerolls and other bonuses each session, but they can be permanently lost to allow for a character that would otherwise die to miraculously survive the encounter.

Some of the other characters from Bleach have lost theirs already. Like Head Captain Yamamoto. Plus Aizen and Yhwach. To clarify, Ichigo is written out of the story (but isn't actually dead) after the Britannian invasion; he shows up again later. Orihime's was baited and switched; she assumes the identity of Inoe from Code Geass, who canonically dies in a mech explosion; Ichigo pulls a Big Damn Heroes to get her out (she doesn't know it's him; he's masquerading as someone else too during the Black Rebellion). Yamamoto is killed by Aizen and Nyra. Lelouch Geasses Aizen into suicide during Rukia's execution; he shows up again as a denizen of hell much later, killing Yamamoto as already stated. Yhwach buys it in the final battle, albeit off panel, against Aizen's latest godmod. For less important canon characters Shinji, Rose, Love, Kensei, Hachi and Hiyori all die, and Lisa nearly joins them. Hisagi, Kira, Sajin, Nanao, Chojiro and Omaeda are all gone too. Some canon deaths, like Tosen, Gin, Starrk, Kaien and Hisana, however, are averted.

Plot Armor / int_c0da5437	comment	What do you get when you take away plot armor from everybody but one psychopath? The Punisher and Deadpool find out in their respective versions of The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe and Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. The Punisher once resisted Ghost Rider's Penance Stare, under the reasoning that Frank doesn't feel guilty about his innumerable murder cases; it was against unrepentant criminals and the like so for Frank it was justice at work, not a collection of sins. That contradicts many instances where the Penance Stare is said to work on absolutely any living being who has ever sinned, taking a life regardless of the motivations behind it, i.e.: Galactus can be affected by the Penance Stare even if he is a natural force of the universe who doesn't consider his planet-sized killings as something evil.

If they do try to bite you, they'll always just barely miss, and if you're being chased and they're shown to be faster than you, they'll always lose ground between shots. This gets especially obvious in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous where the actions takes place over months, not days, but the cast of teenagers constantly lives through encounters with dinos shown to easily tear through Red Shirts.

Plot Armor / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: This show is notable for its extensive use of Plot Armor throughout its long run. The Doctor constantly faces super-powerful alien menaces with only his wit to save him, but he actually survives many of his close scrapes by fortuitous circumstances or getting taken captive instead of killed. Of course, his Bizarre Alien Biology has allowed him to regenerate from fatal encounters, but after nearly 800 episodes of often insanely dangerous adventures his plot armor's only failed 13 times. Specific examples include: In "The End of Time", the Doctor jumps from a spaceship, falls approximately half a mile, crashes through a large skylight, lands hard on a marble floor, and sustains only minor injuries. The Doctor's companions also have a fairly effective plot armor as well, especially in the original series, as they are usually standard humans facing the same dangers the Doctor does, and keep an extremely low mortality rate with only one or two of them biting the bullet. Companions in the new series have a comparatively weaker plot armor, but even then they tend to leave the Doctor because of some freak space-time accident rather than actual death. The Doctor, when in a really tight spot, will sometimes remind his enemies that not only have they had him in tight spots before, not only does he always win in the end but they often lose big and/or are humiliated in the process. This makes his Plot Armor at least partially self-powered.

Should they take a fatal amount of damage, they'll fall over briefly, only to pick themselves up a moment later. The Call of Duty Wiki has its own page for the phenomenon, covering the entire series. Subverted in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. During one of your missions as Jackson, your chopper is downed by a nuclear shockwave, and you wake up soon after in the wreckage. Instead of the expected harrowing escape through the wasteland, you end up only being able to stagger around in Ground Zero for a minute before dying.

When Blake was Put on a Bus in the Season 2 finale, there was no dramatic need for his Arch-Enemy so Travis is unceremoniously shot dead in the same episode.

Yugi is about to lose to Bakura until on his very last turn he gets an Egyptian God Card. Rishid is about to win against Jonouchi, but Malik orders him to summon the copy of The Winged Dragon of Ra, resulting in Ra getting enraged and striking both players with lightning, from which Jonouchi recovers with The Power of Friendship. Mai would have beaten Yami Malik had she just attacked, but instead tries to summon Ra and can't read its text, and Yami Malik uses Ra instead. Kaiba suddenly has a vision that tells him that he should use his Blue-Eyes White Dragon instead of Obelisk, sacrificing his Egyptian God Card, which makes Ishizu's trap card useless. And then in the semi-finals, Jonouchi would have defeated Yami Malik, but nearly dies because of the torture he had to endure in the duel. And Yugi is able to save himself from losing to Kaiba by suddenly being able to use the effect of Kaiba's Flute of Summoning Dragon.

Plot Armor / int_ce1f7b52	comment	The Dresden Files has something like this in the form of consequences and concessions. Consequences are a series of wounds that a character can take to avoid being Taken Out and keep fighting. While PCs and named NPCs generally are allowed the choice to use them or not, GMs are advised not to give any consequences to mooks. As a result, a successful gunshot that will kill a Mook might cause a PC to weather it with only a twisted ankle from ducking out of the way. Concessions are a way to be Taken Out on your own terms. In normal gameplay, whoever strikes the final blow that takes someone out decides what happens — whether the target lives or dies, for a start. But taking a concession means you decide how you're Taken Out, at the cost of some still-tangible loss. So while a vampire taking out a PC may well result in the vampire killing that PC to retrieve a MacGuffin, a PC conceding to a vampire may mean the PC is merely knocked out while the vampire grabs the MacGuffin and makes good an escape. This process is, again, typically not offered to nameless mooks. The Fate System in general (which is what Dresden Files uses) assigns plot armor in a pretty straightforward fashion. Major plot-relevant characters (including all player characters, of course) get standard-length stress tracks and a full set of consequence slots, while the less important the character is, the less stress and the fewer consequences they can take before being Taken Out — to the extreme of the lowest-ranking "nameless NPCs " in some versions such as Fate Core not getting even a single stress box to their name and simply being taken out of any conflict right on the first successful hit. These guys make, for example, excellent anonymous innocent bystanders for villains and monsters to threaten.

In the first book, Laurent refuses to fight against James even though it would be an eight to two fight. Which basically means James must be the badass of badasses. Actually Jasper and Emmett take him out alone. And easily. Book Four is the biggest Plot Armor moment when a brutal battle between the Volturi and the Cullen/Cullen allies that has been worked up for ages devolves into a friendly talk and an "okay, let's go home" situation. The Twilight characters are supposed to be in real you-could-really-die situations but somehow everyone leaves unscathed every single time.

You can create flashbacks which lay out incredibly, amazingly brutal ad hoc Thanatos Gambit after Thanatos Gambit for the schadenfreude of it, and if you're not all about that schadenfreude, you would not be playing Fiasco. Additionally, many scenarios have endless ways to bring the dead back if there are supernatural forces or mad science at work. Finally, you could always just look at the relationships and role of your late character and play out NPCs doing terrible, no-good things that develop out of the death of your character.

Plot Armor / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	In PokÃ©mon: The Series: The heroes always get their Pokemon back from Team Rocket, as does anyone they have befriended that episode (with all of one exception). Yet the organization seems to keep growing through the series, and even the trio were already much-feared criminals before they met Ash and Pikachu. How many trainers must have been less lucky? In PokÃ©mon: The First Movie, Ash Ketchum throws himself directly into an attack by Mew and Mewtwo, and gets Taken for Granite. Being the protagonist, this naturally doesn't last for long, as he gets revived moments later when the PokÃ©mon literally cry him back to life, something that is never mentioned or hinted at again. In the XY series, Ash throws himself to certain death on three separate occasions and not once suffers so much as a single injury for his recklessness. He jumps off of Prism Tower to save his Pikachu, jumps off of a plane along with his Goodra, and jumps into a volcano alongside his Talonflame, each time getting rescued at the last moment before anything bad happens. Another bad habit of the show is its tendency to have the main characters' PokÃ©mon take far more damage in battle than their opponents, yet somehow pull off a victory with much less effort. One such example is Ash's Johto League match against Gary, where Charizard somehow tanks Golem's Magnitude, Blastoise's Hydro Pump, Skull Bash, and Bite, before one-shotting both of them in return. Serena, despite her limited progression as a battler and her lateness to discover a goal, has sparsely failed in anything. Her PokÃ©mon have never fainted once in battle due to either her opponents being Team Rocket or being accompanied by a stronger trainer or dumb luck, while the showcases never conveyed her as losing without a serious folly by one of her team, her act always considered the most popular up until the finals. Despite these examples, the anime is also infamous for being one of the most iconic subversions when it comes to the seasonal Tournament Arc. While Ash's loss record is a butt of fandom jokes, his friends don't fare much better, always coming short of winning their own tournaments. Dawn particularly stands out because she managed to fail the first appeals round of her PokÃ©mon Contests twice in a row, even though her predecessor May never failed an appeals round despite some objectively worse performances (though this is also a Zigzagged Trope, since it was a Foregone Conclusion that she'd enter the Grand Festival and thus win enough contests to do so).

Their ending cards do mention they eventually died of their wounds though. As an enemy, Hubert is infamous among players for his annoyingly thick plot armor, as he will retreat every single time the player defeats him until the battle of Enbarr. Hilda, Seteth and Flayn meanwhile have selective plot armor: Hilda only gets to wear hers on the Verdant Wind route where she's Claude's second-in-command and the same is true for Seteth and Flayn on the Silver Snow route, where Seteth is Byleth's second-in-command and Flayn tags along. All three characters will be Killed Off for Real if they fall on any other route. Similar to Hubert, the Death Knight simply won't die until the plot decides his appointed time has come, which can become ridiculous when the player faces him six times on the same route. Naturally, he drops his plot armor on Crimson Flower, the one route where he's playable.

Plot Armor / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: The true reason the two title characters never stay dead. A particularly blatant example is Spike's special resilience to the sunlight. No-name vampires are seen immediately disintegrating the moment they're pushed into the sunlight, but when Buffy takes off the Gem of Amarra from Spike's finger during their fight in the broad daylight and he remains without protection, he has just enough time to run into the shadow. Other times he can walk during daylight if he just wears a rug over his head (or in Season 9 comics, a hat). "Pangs" from Season 4 sees Spike getting hit with multiple arrows to the torso all of which conveniently miss his heart. Lesser vampires have been dusted from similar hits so apparently the only thing that saves Spike is that he's just been promoted to regular character. This also goes for the Scooby characters in earlier seasons such as Willow, Xander, and Cordelia, who have no problem taking nighttime strolls through Sunnydale without Buffy, despite having no special powers or abilities to defend themselves with. With nightly sirings as common as they are portrayed, the group should have been vamped a long time ago. In "Chouces", Faith strikes Willow across the mouth in genuine anger. Since Faith is a Slayer (and not inclined to pull punches even when she's in a good mood), only a solid layer of Plot Armor prevents Willow's jaw from shattering.

Plot Armor / int_e2bb8bee	comment	The Cosmere: Lampshaded in The Stormlight Archive by the various people around Kaladin. His fellow soldiers and later bridgemen notice that no matter how things get, Kaladin (and his squad) make it through relatively unharmed, at least compared to everyone else around them. More particularly, arrows have this ever-so-convenient tendency to just barely miss him even when he really really ought to get hit. Of course this is because he's in the early stages of becoming a Surgebinder and it unconsciously using his various powers, including being a Gravity Master, to keep himself and others alive. Somewhat deconstructed in that Kaladin is quite depressed about how he keeps surviving while other around him get killed, and thinks he might be literally cursed for a while. Invoked for Captain Demoux of Mistborn: The Original Trilogy. He's named after a friend of the author, and the author had to promise that friend that the character named after him would survive to the end and get a Love Interest. This is confirmed by Word of God to be the only thing that kept him alive when he is one of the many attacked by the mists.

Plot Armor / int_e2fa7287	comment	Touhou: Reimu Hakurei is this. She is the Barrier Maiden and Gensokyo would just vanish if she dies. This is why more powerful beings such as Yukari, Yuuka, Suika, Remilia go along with the spellcard rules, so they can resolve their differences without accidentally destroying the world. This becomes subverted in Perfect Cherry Blossom, in which the main characters have to breach the barrier that divides the real world from the netherworld in order to take Gensokyo's spring back. Yuyuko states this before fighting Reimu saying that being at that point of the netherworld basically means she's probably dead. Even if Reimu loses against the non-lethal spellcard rules, all the spring in Gensokyo will resurrect the Saigyou Ayakashi, and the series Fridge Horror page will remind you of its abilities. For a fairy whose stated profession is ineffectual shaved-ice salesperson, Cirno possesses an uncanny ability to remain intact in situations that would be rather dangerous for a human, let alone a being whose stated life expectancy when it comes to dangerous situations is unflatteringly low. This is taken to its logical conclusion in Touhou 16: Hidden Star in Four Seasons where she is a playable character solving an incident along the likes of Reimu Hakurei in spite of being vastly weaker than any other member of the playable cast. The antagonist of Foul Detective Satori has thus far become infamous for evading the title character, Reimu, and everyone else that has tried to capture her, and has without fail taken out every person she's targeted, even those who actively attempted to protect themselves against her, even briefly getting her claws into Yukari offscreen, a character some fans believe she should not have even survived an encounter with.

Plot Armor / int_e37dfa1f	comment	Hong Kong Action Theatre bases its difficulties to hit characters directly on their importance to the plot of the "movie." Player characters are assumed to be of major importance, and are generally much tougher and more skilled than minor importance mooks, who go down like tenpins when faced with the former and often need a natural 20 to even hit them at all. The top tier of importance is Extreme which is mainly reserved for the Big Bad. Major and Extreme importance characters can make Toughness rolls to resist getting One Hit Killed if their opponent scores a natural 20, dodge grenade explosions that would kill lesser characters, and even survive getting blown up provided that they can take the damage.

Characters start out with twice the normal point allowance (and they're considerably more badass than ordinary people to begin with), they get special bonuses in combat, and they can save an unspent character point or two to shake off a bad injury as "just a flesh wound." The Serendipity advantage can also function this way.

Plot Armor / int_e694aadb	comment	Ciaphas Cain is the narrator of his books, which are presented as his memoirs from his time in retirement, so it's kind of a given he'll see the end of each story. Other characters protected by the "memoirs" rationale: Jurgen, Cain's aide-de-camp who stays with Cain his entire documented career; Amberly Vail, Cain's Inquisitorial connection and off-again-on-again lover, who's editing the memoirs; and Jenit Sulla, who we're told very early on will someday become a general (and whose terrible, terrible memoirs often fill in gaps in Cain's narrative), and a handful of one-book characters who cross path with Cain whose survival is proven by Amberley annotating Cain's story with passages from their own recollection of said events (though one of those memoirs includes a note that they were never finished, hinting in advance that he doesn't survive the entire story). Since this is a much more comedic view of the 40K universe, this isn't a problem; even in the grim darkness of the far future, not knowing if a character will survive to the end would damage their humor value. It's also notable in that the characters themselves notice. Cain in particular is so convinced that all of his successes are due to pure luck that he totally overlooks his own Badass Normal status, and so despite a century of ludicrously one-sided victories thinks of himself as a phony. One group of very religious soldiers he briefly served with ended up so blown away after seeing him take on a powerful daemon (and had originally been sent to arrest him) that there is now a small sect on their homeworld that considers him a saint.

Laff Riot, learned by Videomancers, replaces the normal rules of the world — here defined as a gritty, modern horror game where Anyone Can Die and where fighting someone can break you psychologically as well as cripple you physically — with that of a family-friendly soap opera. All injuries become amusing booboos, everyone survives horrible situations through amusing pratfalls, and even deliberate attempts to murder someone go completely off the rails.

Seemingly normal enemies to kill will sometimes soak up any and all weapons you throw at them, even though they are shown spewing fuel, oil, smoke, and debris. They just won't die, until you reach a certain point, whether it's a boss fight finishing his monologue, or a certain mook flying to a specific location to have a cinematic death. Even if you are the best player ever, and hit with every shot, avoid every attack, and never lose sight of your target, some of them refuse to die until it's time.

Jesse also survives Walt's final barrage of machine-gun fire by being shielded by Walt himself. Hank survives Tuco and the Cousins by chance several times, and kills one of the Cousins just because he wanted to make a show of it. Mike survives getting shot by the Cartel members due to timely blood infusion. Gus also survives his own self-poisoning by the same doctor who treated Mike despite both of them being in critical condition. This is of course Subverted by the end of the series, where no character is actually safe. Walt ends up dead by the same machine-gun fire as one of them hits him while he shields Jesse. Jesse ends up surviving the series. Hank is killed by Jack Welker after Hank nearly ends up busting Walt's entire operation. Mike is killed by Walt when he pisses the latter off for calling out his pride. Gus is killed by Hector using Walt's pipe-bomb.

Plot Armor / int_f3e1f424	comment	Merlin: Merlin. Not only has he managed to survive various attempts on his life, living as a magical person in an anti-magic kingdom, his lemming-like tendency to jump in front of Arthur and bartering his own life but most recently surviving something that was said to kill all other people that it touched, he was even getting better from it. Arthur counts as well, but a large amount of that is Merlin shielding him (and in turn being shielded by his Plot Armor). There's a Shrug of God on whether or not he's immortal, though, so it may or may not be justified. Merlin also managed to go a whole day with a serious sword wound that, that slashed his chest and sliced his stomach while running away from the enemy and having to deal with Arthur's overly attentive panicked mothering. Then he survived a giant rockfall avalanche. Then Morgana healed him and possessed him, making him hellbent on murdering Arthur. Yet somehow, most likely due to Arthur's plot armor, all of Merlin's fairly well-thought out attempts on his life flunk for the silliest reasons. Sir Leon has this. The guy survived being bathed in flames by a dragon, being beaten to death long enough to be healed by the Cup of Life, and took a magic bolt to the chest that had just killed two knights and got up without so much as a scratch. Although this isn't Plot Armor so much as Ensemble Darkhorse Armor, and the fact that he's too popular to die. Oddly, Arthur actually had plot armor in the legends. The only reason Mordred succeeded in killing him was that the mythic king wasn't carrying Excalibur — or more importantly, Excalibur's sheath, which made him invulnerable.
