Thanks for the advice everyone! Lot of stuff to think about...

Ah, I see, thanks for clearing that up. I wonder why there is a 2 point difference between AC and saves. I would think it would be the same since weapon attacks and spell attacks have the same bonuses (Prof + Ability mod). Or is AC lower because it is assumed everyone will have some kind of armor?

You said two point swing, it's not a 4 point swing? (base 14 for save defenses and base 10 for AC?) And what are you saying is a base 12? AC? Sorry, bit of an idiot when it comes to math... I was actually thinking about Star Wars Saga Edition! I wondered how that could possibly be converted to 5e.

So, I was thinking of converting saving throws to 3 defenses like in 4e, and found that the conversion should be to X Defense = 14 + Prof + Ability mod somewhere in this forum. (Someone also suggested X Defense =10 + Prof + Ability mod + 2nd Ability mod, which is kind of cool). At first I was...

Something like this would probably work better for a modern/sci-fi version of 5e where armor isn't as prevalent. Maybe have a base AC that improves by level like in Everyday Heroes and then have armor give some minor bonus HP...

That makes sense, but it seems like too much math to calculate each time.

So what would you say the conversion from AC to bonus HP would be?

I wasn't thinking to change the length of combat, but I'm not sure what you mean...

Oh, I like tracking the number of hits, but your right, that wouldn't take into account huge variations in damage... I'd probably have to add a DR then.

That might work...

I had this idea to have armor give Armor Points instead of a bonus to AC. Armor Points would act like Hit Points. First you lose Armor Points, then Hit Points. When your Armor Points reach zero, you need to repair your armor before you can gain its benefits again. Assuming this is a good...

Not sure if this is the best place to ask for advice, so feel free to move the post if not! I've been publishing rpgs on DrivethruRPG for awhile as a hobby mostly, but lately I thought I'd like to take the promotion/marketing part a little more seriously--actually I've done next to zero of that...
